Mamiya M645 J

I just got my first medium format film back from the developers! Exciting!

I took these shots on Wednesday at Tide Mills, by the sea in Newhaven.






I didn't mean to have the dog in this shot, but he just walked into it and wouldn't go away, so I asked him to sit down.















And the last one in the evening in the studio.



I bought the camera at a camera fair in Brighton last Sunday. Here's what it looks like: http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Mamiya_M645 (except I don't have that prism thing at the top, and mine is the 645 J, which is a stripped-down version made in 1979.)

Kolkata launch

I took some photos for the launch of Brighton's new fair trade shop Kolkata. The design of the shop is by La Luminata. (Amazing how Rachel made my photos look so good in her blog entry!)


























Both the lamp shades and the staircase bannister were custom designed for the shop.

Model agency launch party

I did a "behind the scenes" photo shoot of a model agency launch party today. The model agency is BM Models, and the venue was Table, and models prepared by Headmasters. It was a fun shoot!















Here is a link to all the shots that I provided for them: BM Models Flickr set

West Wittering

We decided to go somewhere different today for a walk - somewhere we haven't been before. And the chosen place was West Wittering.



It's nice to go to a sandy beach every now and then, as we only have pebble beaches near where we live. It's good because dogs can play on the beach...



...as well as in the shallow water.

We returned to Brighton at sunset and had a little walk by the pebbly beach.

Rachel at home

I took some photos of the lovely Rachel of La Luminata today in her stylish home. Here are some of the shots.
