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.

Monochrome photography with Fujica STX 1
11/04/2009 by Woodsy.
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.

Through The Looking Glass

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