In this first podcast for 2025, I explain my absence from the airwaves for the past 7 months! Trust me, I had a good excuse! I then recount stories from my latest trip to Japan in May / June. On this trip I met Bellamy Hunt, Japan Camera Hunter, who kindly gifted me a roll of Fujifilm Neopan 1600. I shot the film in the shotengai (covered shopping street) in Onomichi over 2 nights.

I was nervous about taking the Olympus Stylus Epic to China. Not because I thought I would lose it or have it stolen, but because I was worried that I wouldn’t take any decent pictures with it. My February roll for the Frugal Film Project had problems with underexposure - so how would I go in China in early Spring? A 200 speed film wasn’t ideal, would there be enough light for my photos? As you can see from these images, I needn’t have worried. Most days we had glorious bright weather, although ...

Which 10 photography-related items would you take to a desert island? This is the question I asked Theo Panagopoulos recently. Theo is a talented Sydney photographer, one of the hosts of the Camerosity podcast, and also has his own excellent camera review blog photothinking.com . It was wonderful to hear his 10 items as we progressed through our chat - not surpisingly his Mamiya 7 featured heavily in the mix!

In recent months I’ve become more interested in art. I’ve bought a gouache set, some watercolour pencils, and found a few ‘how to draw’ books we had at home. So far there’s very little art being produced. Needing inspiration, I turned to 3 photography friends who are also talented artists. Matt Jones, Matthew Joseph, and Bill Thoo often share their artwork with others in a photography group chat. I’ve been amazed and inspired by their art this year. Matthew and Bill have produced beautiful works...
