New Thoughts, The Sound of the Atlas


My old Atlas Metal working lathe, has developed a squealing bearing in the rear spindle shaft. It is a bitter wrenching sorrowful and painful sound as the metal wears away at itself.
The Lathe was made in 1936

Old Film, Panoramic found




I processed a roll of film that had been sitting on my shelf for a number years. I seem to gather old rolls of black and white, this roll must have been taken last year using my crude home-made panoramic camera.

The Broken Shard


I'm clearing the van out, and found a shard of glass from a day I spent with Sean and his Stereo Wet Collodion Camera. I remember the small glass plate breaking, one half of two images, one adjacent and slightly parallax to to the other

Royal Photographic Society Journal Publication


This is an interesting June.

The visit to the Royal photographic Society sparked some interest in the nature of the Van, and its hidden meanings. I did not realize quite what it meant to have something like this and to have made it myself and with others.

David Land from the RPS Journal contacted me and with Mr de Vere, strung together a four page article from the diary. The issue was published in june, David Land titled the article 'The Art of Darkness' the article before us was on Nadav Kander!
