More Xpan

At the now tender age of 31, here I upload some images that do not represent existentialist angst in any shape or form. Or maybe perhaps. Read behind the lines what you will.

Pilgrimage.

Ilford Delta 400 pushed to 800, with an orange filter. The worst conditions I've ever tried to make images in.

Xpan scans

Just got back from my three week holiday in Eastern Europe.

I thought I'd upload some old XPAN scans before I start developing and scanning my rolls from the trip.
It was only after seeing the neg come back from the lab did I realise the boy on top of the pillar is holding a Dove.

Killorgan County Kerry.

Please note these scans were done using a €170 scanner, hence the quality is lacking, but I've finally bit the bullet and have put my Nikon coolscan into repair.

I have many more images to sort through going back some month's, but I might as well get cracking on the negs from my travels. Will have my first images by the end of the week.

Panoramic London

Hi here are some recent photos from my trip to London in January, all images captured with a Hasselblad xpan.

I had very little time to go around to make images, I was too busy at the SWPP convention.



After about two minutes before this picture was made, at Canary Wharf in London, I was aproached by two police officers who started to demand why I'm taking pictures and where I'm from. When I said Ireland. They asked that I show them some ID, I told them I don't have any, and said I'm tourist and I didn't think there were any laws about taking photos in public. They just said you can't take photos here. Strange how the 20 people I saw with camera phones could snap away and I can't.
I continued on shooting whatever the fuck I felt like after they left.
I should mention that I had only a few hours sleep, and still half pissed from the night before.

It was my last day in London, and marred what was an otherwise nice little trip.

I have some images made with the Leica I'll see if I can dust off the negs, upload them some time.
