Clearing out the cobwebs

Dew-covered Web

It would be fair to say that I’ve been guilty of neglecting the website a little. Well, OK then, a lot.

I haven’t stopped doing photography, if anything I’ve been doing much more than I had, including some work for clients. Almost exclusively film-based, too. I’ve been busy building up more possible portfolio images, have started home development of black and white film (like the cobweb shot on the right, made on Tri-X and souped in Rodinal using a handheld daylight developing tank). It’s been busy times and the site has suffered. Most of my seat time for photo editing has been to make my workflow a little better and more suited to handling images sourced mainly from film scans.

However, I have some plans which make the website much more important to what I’m doing as a photographer. I’m starting an open-ended “one shot per day” project in medium format; technically I’ve already started it, but I want to put a decent buffer period between shooting a frame and posting it online, since I have at least a 12-day delay until a roll of film is finished and I need to allow for not getting to development right away. More on that one in a subsequent post.

There’ll be some changes to the main site as well, but it might be a little while. In the meantime, I’ll upload those images I consider “portfolio worthy” anyway.
