Bookish - My books of the year 2021

From My Lens December 28, 2021

As we near the end of 2021, its time to outline my favourite books of the year, that is 2021.

Its been a steady rewarding year, whilst I had a little mid year distraction, driving sales and business onto the Etsy Store and also the learning curve for the Chamonix 45n2 4x5 large format camera.

Similar to 2020, I have enjoyed reaching my yearly challenge of 52 books (60 at the timing of writing this blog). I have also enjoyed a broad subject matter, that again includes decent coverage into photobooks.

So dive in, I hope there are a couple of takeaways for you.

Bookish - My books of the year.

From My Lens December 29, 2020

I’m not one for idoling in front of the TV, if there is a show sweeping the nation or a decent film on release, then I may be tempted to sit and watch. But after working on the laptop during the course of the day in the day job, my idea of relaxing - when I’m not taking photos - is reading a book.

A couple of #LargeFormat #4x5 images taken at Camber Sands Beach, at the beginning of the year.

This was supposed to be the start of a new project, that I have had to defer. It's gone a little mental at work and also the house renovation

Developed a couple of rolls of #Kodakgold200 with @takeiteasylab

Turned out great, bearing in mind they expired 18mths ago.

The 2nd is slightly out of focus, muscle memory using the excellent #fujicags645s is a little rusty.

Saturday people. 

Not had much luck with the film camera collection, moving house, dinks and dents aplenty.

A little good news, was a hack I discovered for the faulty winder on my #Minoltax500. I love this camera, especially the 28mm #ro
Another frame from the recent #ilfordxp2 that I put through the #yashicamat124g. 

I love this film.  Have 8 x rolls incoming today, ready for the weekend. 

#6x6 #TLR
Decided to dust down the #yashicamat124g #TLR today. I normally get my film off the web, so paying £11.50 for a roll of #ilfordxp2 was a tad steep.

Love this film as I do the 124g.
Headed up to the dunes of Camber Beach at the weekend, as I'm thinking of starting a new photo project. 

Met this fella, entertaining himself metal detecting, whilst his wife was shopping in Rye.  He's an Apple farmer by day (cider not eating apples
