Adam – wow, it is all about medium format. Photographers scratch their heads and spend thousands on lenses and stuff for their 35mm dslr setups to try and get that extra degree of sharpness, but any sort of medium format camera naturally produces that beautiful crisp quality. You must tell me about the camera you are using, and I would love to see some of your pics!

Grooh – scanned unprofessionally from the prints – there is no worse way of digitising analogue pics, bar photographing prints with a digital camera which would be seriously shit. I have a sub-genre of my photography of struggling to produce original photos of clichéd subject matter. Praps I should post a series of my Millennium wheel pics?

I don’t believe that these are not taken with a digital camera. Else, how on earth can they get on the internet? You’re a cheater, admit it.
I love that central reservation one though. And the one with the glimpse of the wheel is good – always like getting a new view on the familiar.
The one of the ice and water is good enough for a Windows wallpaper!

And it costs 9 pounds per 12 photos. It will be worth it when I get a good photo though!

I like the lack of transparency of the technologies, that you can work into a distinct aesthetic- really good looking photos, as I always expect from you…

I’m enjoying learning how to use 120mm film at the moment though I am frankly terrible. My hands shake too much.
