<del>U Should Not be doing that<del>, Oh yes you should.

From My Lens July 19, 2025

I haven’t been been out for quite some time, have been a bit busy at work and it’s nice to just chill and relax in the house, now that the builders have all left. But today I decided to pop out into town to shoot some film.

Classic indecision, meant that I was packed up like a Sherpa going up Mount Everest, carrying the Pentax 67, FujicaGS645s I’m the delightful Minolta X500.

Happenstance delivered today where I stumbled across a Transgender March. As I wasn’t too tired, I was quite active getting some street portraits, approaching folk. But the photo used at the top of this blog post. The person on the left. Thought I may have been a Daily Mail photographer.

FFS.

I did have a chuckle to myself and think: 1) I’m a 53-year-old dad of two, I think I need to modernise some of my wardrobe, 2) am I near the autumn of the street photography journey that I’m on? I don’t fancy much being pointed out as a right wing broadsheet tabloid photographer, as the hair turns a bit more grey?

Margate in March.

Off season. Dreamland's sign tells you so, in case the empty streets hadn't already.

There's something about this town that film suits better than digital &mdash; the slight shift in colour, the way the grain holds the cold light

Whilst I have been enjoying shooting digital (see here on my other channel @_from_my_lens_digital_ ) it's great to be shooting and developing

Well, the large format gear has long been sold.

Here's a selection of images taken in Dungeness. Just love this place.  I miss the large format gear, but it was just a little too much of a faff setting up and taking shots
