with love

In case you hadn't noticed from my flickr stream lately, I'm completely in love with my Kiev 60 (or, perhaps, the lens on it). Using it's a rather different process to the kind of "shoot and run" stuff you can do with a 35mm (or digital) camera, but the results are frequently worth the effort of hauling it around - more often than not, so far, as shown by this roll (I've never uploaded an entire roll to flickr before).

I must say, I'm becoming quite fond of Fuji Provia film (as used in 5 of the 6 photos shown here), having picked up a few rolls of expired stuff from the Camberwell Camera Market the other week. I'm a little scared to try Velvia in this thing, I figure it might burn my eyes.

The other thing I promised I'd try this year was developing my own B&W film - I've recently acquired enough bits and bobs to try this out, and once I finish a roll of "expendable" film in my camera (I'm about 2/3 of the way there, honest) we'll see how it goes.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of Things^TM.
