  1. Travelling With Film, Part III: Buying and Processing

    2015-08-05 11:51:00 UTC

    As we have discovered in the previous parts of this series, travelling with film overseas is not difficult. The simplicity of a mechanical camera and single lens can make the process of photography more than the just the lugging around of technology. Less is more. Now we look at how…

  2. About the Shot: Berlin

    2015-06-07 23:39:00 UTC

    Buy a print and make Richard happy. November 9, 2014: my first day back in Berlin. I wandered some 39km through the streets. It seemed most of the city was on the streets the day marked the 25th anniversary of the fall of the ‘Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart’ otherwise known as…

  3. About the Shot: Uetliberg 2:40pm

    2015-06-05 23:30:00 UTC

    Buy a print of Uetliberg 2:40pm and make Richard happy. My lasting memory of Zürich is visiting Starbucks, buying two coffees and walking out about AUD$20 poorer. Switzerland’s largest city is not a cheap place to visit, but it has a certain appeal. For one, there is its famous public…

  4. Berlin: Layers of History

    2015-04-30 05:44:00 UTC

    Berlin is my favourite city in the world. If that sounds like the syntax of a giddy 6-year-old, then you’d be partly right. I have been known to grin like one at the thought of going back to Germany, before returning to the sad realisation I am stuck at home…

  5. A Walk in the (Leitz) Park

    2015-04-27 12:24:00 UTC

    Late last year, I was lucky enough to undertake a pilgrimage to one of the holy sites of photography: Leitz Park in Wetzlar. The recently-opened complex is home to state-of-the-art production facilities for Leica Camera, in addition to three other related companies: Leica’s cine-focused sister company CW Sonderoptic,…

  6. Travelling with Film, Part I: The Gear

    2015-02-15 04:26:00 UTC

    61 days, 21 cities, 9 countries, 76 rolls of film. These were an amazing two months on the road (well, rails more often than not) with all the sights, sounds and intellectual stimulation that only Europe can provide. But when I tell people I shot 76 rolls of film, they…

  7. On the Road Again

    2014-11-05 14:06:53 UTC

    For the next few weeks, I’ll be in Europe, mixing up business with pleasure and study with leisure. It’s a strange sensation, going away to another continent, yet feeling as connected as ever via social media. This is something I want to actively avoid. Devices, as useful as the can…
