It's Christmas!
I love Christmas, it’s a time for reflection, a time for family and friends and a few days away from work to relax.
But, Santa doesn’t always step up and deliver some things because they are either difficult to find or just plain obscure.
So, in order to combat this I’ve bought myself a load of 35mm film to go with my old Canon 1V. There’s something about film that can’t be reproduced with digital. At least not yet anyway and although it’s time consuming, sometimes messy and always unpredictable there’s something quite genuine about it. Most of all, it’s fun and whenever I shoot it I find I keep looking for the non existent LCD screen!
Whilst always shooting digital when working I’m looking forward to killing time in the quiet parts of 2012 with some slide film and Velvia 50 
Aside from this I’d like to wish all of those who follow my blog and well, everyone really a massive seasons greetings and prosperous new year. This year has been great for me personally and professionally and I couldn’t of done it without those who I’ve spoken to, taken advice from and worked for in the last 12 months.

i guess it is also time to start feeling nostalgic too? we get so used to chimping and i’ve seen it get in the way for some photographers as they have missed a moment because they are checking the lcd for exposure, focus and guests blinking. enjoy your distraction and the process of considering and taking time over each shot and enjoy the velvia loveliness
