Fuji frames from our trip around the New Forest on the bikes.

We’d planned to do the Rat Run, a 160 mile loop, but after the first morning of cycling in 33 degree heat we decided to manage our expectations and just followed our noses between pubs, cafes, beaches, bike shops, and campsites.

I like my home comforts, but being outside for 5 solid days was such a joy. When all you have to do in a day is cycle as far you can, eat food and drink plenty of water - time slows down, and it’s step out of real life. Hoping to do it again soon.

Some frames from a slow summer evening by the water.

This is my brother. He’s always built stuff. He’s always building stuff. But this may be the most important project yet.

I think there’s something pretty special about having all of your friends and family around to help build your house. Shelter. Home. When you’ve worked the wood from tree to tie-beam, a structure like this becomes intensely personal. The people he’s known since he was three, holding and fixing the timber that will shelter his own children.

It takes a village.

first roll through the bronica was a success

it felt like christmas opening the envelope from the lab

I deliberately didn’t order scans so I’d have to figure it out myself

what an awesome moment seeing the negs flip into positive for the first time in a long time

shot a few frames of collecting seaweed as per usual

enjoying these in between days when you’re not sure if you need a jacket or not

eating late in the evening because you lost track of time in the daylight

laughter drifts across the water as we skim stones and make plans for tomorrow

and breathe

The last few months, I’ve found myself longing for slow, analogue ways of working.

I think it’s a response to AI, and the continuing decline in the value of photography - an art form that has become a commodity.

I’m interested in the pursuit of friction and slowness. A way of working that demands more attention. Where you need to make the most of every frame.

You get 12 shots on a roll of 120 from this 6x6 Bronica SQ-A. A camera that was manufactured 44 years ago.

It demands intentionality and focus. This feels like a new era.
