Potterings! My graphic morph from 2011. Potterings!? …And so Rum, Hairy, and Hemeriods found themselves confronting dangerous wizards, dark magic, and the evil guidance councillor Lord Vomit….will they survive? Quite frankly I don’t care.

Woodsy’s Got Guns, Lots of Guns. My graphic morph from 2011. After taking the Red Pill I found myself disconnected from the mainframe, no longer inside the doorless prison, but like a splinter in my mind driving me mad I was faced with a greater challenge - Dvd or Blu-Ray.

There comes a time in life when one must upgrade, often this occurs when faced with challenge or struggle; the time has to abandon my chosen vessel and go in search for something new, something that does not shy away from dynamic range, a body that provides greater clarity and a sensor that can truly capture the depths of my imagination. A wise man is playing with the Nikon D700 and fortunately has a Fuji S5pro for trial. The posts that follow are some early test shots with said camera, the initial steps to a new DSLR camera.

Death of Facebook. Facebook is so deeply imprinted into out psychology, and to many its no longer regarded as a social network web site but more an extension (or more aptly) a replacement to our social interaction. Gone are the face-to-face conversations about interests, news and gossip, instead a towering mass of status updates, of ‘Likes’, and anti-social self-depressing banal “chat”, most of which is never conveyed verbally given the chance.

 Many people have asked me why I have left Facebook, my answer to them is that in truth there is no why, I made a choice, I simply saw it as unsubscribing to an unwanted web service and nothing more - but this in itself is highly liberating because, as mentioned earlier, Facebook is no longer a web service, its became (or taken over) part of our lives - our ability to socialise, to talk.

 For those who wish to enjoy any news, comments, pictures or discussion I encounter on my web travels, these all shall now be posted here - my personal bit of space.

Dear Santa, I knew you were real, I just knew it. For years my mummy wouldn’t let me see you, kept saying I had to be asleep in my bed before you would come, but I knew someday we would meet. My name is Edward, I’m 9 and have a pet Rat called Richard. I don’t have any friends and I keep getting picked on at school, bu…t am well behaved and love science. This year I have been helping out around the house, hovering, ironing, polishing and plumbing. Like my author I am very clever and naturally brilliant and everything and one day I hope to be a subatomic biomechanical physicist or work in a Train Station because I love trains.

My mummy says she can’t afford it, but this year I would really like a Fujifilm Finepix S200EXR digital camera, mummy also says I shouldn’t know what one is because I’m only 9 years old, which I considered rich coming from a person who considers the World Wide Web some form of adhesive used for large picture frames. An…d so dear Santa now that you have are online perhaps you could make my dreams come true this year (£395 from warehouseexpress.com), I hope your reindeer are keeping well, and please send Richard the rat something, he is getting board of his annual magnetic chessboard set on the basis that he regards it as food.

Having started the process of clearing my apartment in preparation from a possible home-move I have put aside my faithful Nikon D70 digital SLR. The various compact flash cards, USB cables and memory card readers, all associated with digital photography, have no been packed away for future times. Instead I turn back to film photography.

I wish to revisit the golden rules of photography in their purest form, the art of composition, light metering and framing, and I wish to do this through the means of a mechanical camera – something I can learn from, something tangible. Selecting a menu option and cycling through the backlit options to digitally attune composition and white-balance holds no value for me now, simply put, I am bored with digital manipulation – though I will never entirely dismiss its fun and ease of use (the real skill these days is in film).

And so, I have acquired a Fujica STX 1 35mm all mechanical film camera (with the hopes of purchasing an Olympus OM20 soon). A compiled HTML instruction manual for the Fujica can be found here:Instruction Manual

The film I have chosen is Ilford HP5 ISO 400 black and white. Results will be uploaded once the film has been finished and subsequently developed and scanned – all part of the joy of film photography.

Every photograph I take, I take to find another piece of myself. And so photography is a way of finding myself. The search continues.
