Waiting for a rescue boat.


What is immediately apparent when using the the Goldy Objectif is that it is unique. How many graduates, salesman, marketing executives invest so much time into seeking what is unique? in an era where images haunt your every movement we all seek something that can stand the test of time, in that sense. Be timeless. Be forever, be seen, remember a singular moment, as oppose to a series of movements we congratulate ourselves on by purely turning on the laptop. As has happened before, one may not have to browse through 300 hundred digital images to best taste a special moment, do they?




Exile?





Its been a few months since my last blog... life moves so quickly, what was on everybody's radar back then is probably fish and chip paper as a wise northerner once told me. For me its been a time of transition and constant striving as oppose to laziness and nights of takeaways and t.v.
So................
For people who read this, you may of browsed the blog and wondered if creativity had left my side. That it truly hasn't. I sold my Digital camera to a chap I know will do it justice. Instead I have been shooting Medium format film and have no intention stopping with a rejuvenated love for the slightly dated methods of film and processing. It started when I finally loaded film into an old Gold Objectif pinhole camera. A camera where you play a game of chance with the results as its impossible to meter or focus, a camera that dates back to the 1930's.
