Personal Notebook and Photographic Journal
My early film scans were a battle between my original vision for colours and sharpness and the results my scanners were providing. My edits seemed to make everything progressively blockier and further from accuracy in the tones and dynamic range, which left me frustrated and a little disappointed.

When I first started shooting on film I took it very seriously, trying to be as frugal as possible by shooting as few frames overall as possible. This was not a new approach to me; I have always considered myself to strive for quality over quantity, and as such tend to wait for exactly the... Continue Reading →

This post began as an article about a specific day, when I went to a small meet-up and photowalk with a few other photographers in Chinatown, however when it came to reviewing my work from that day I found that I only took a handful of images, and that none were especially engaging. I had... Continue Reading →
