Film Week – The Passage

No more words left for the ‘Film Week’ pictures. I saved my favourite of the roll of film till last.

Film Week – The Approaching Rainstorm

I guess the last bit about film and why I shoot it I have not touched on is the developing stage. Its the part where it can all come together, or go terribly wrong. I typically develop with Ilford ID11. Its cheap and comes in powder form, so I can store if for a good […]

Film Week – Across the Crater
