Going through some negatives I’d forgotten about I came across this…
A lonesome gate in the Tasmanian wilderness… not even a fence to keep it company… nor a cattle grid to guard over, let alone a track winding through.
What does it all mean, I pondered.
Don’t fence me in?
Last Saturday was the 15th Annual Silverwater Street and Custom Motorcycle show… and it was bloody hot! The forecast was for 42 (nearly 110 in the shade for you non-decimalised) so I took the opportunity of grabbing some cheap colour film from the supermarket. It doesn’t sell any other kind. I had some left over Tetenal c-41 to develop it in and at 38 degrees I wouldn’t have to waste too much water out the esky to cool it down!
Leica M6 TTL LHSA, 35/1.4 Nokton (I miss my ‘lux (and MP)), Fuji Superia Xtra 400 and ND8 filter.
By late morning everyone was already dripping with sweat but the band still needed to warm up…
I’ve started this blog as an alternative to uber; mainly due to the uncertainties of their future. I’ll also be winding down my dA account (as if I haven’t been already!) as the subscription nears expiry.
Whilst social networking sites and forums such as those have brought me great pleasure and good friends I just can’t justify the time it takes these days to keep on top of it all. Of course it may help if I didn’t feel the need to reply to every comment, :+fav:, note, journal or friend request!
I’m also becoming somewhat disillusioned as to what I see in the so called general ’photographic’ galleries on many sites. I much prefer clicking on an RSS entry in my feeds and knowing that what I see I’ll like as opposed to wafting through gigabytes of irrelevant, photographically inspired (term used lightly), post-photoshoptic, abominable abortions!
So, for me, this looks like being my home. I’ll be mirroring my other blogs until they die off but here’s to hoping uber pulls through!
I’m still adding to the blogroll, slowly, as distractions permit, but there’s more to go. If you think I’ve missed you or have another site then please let me know.
The gallery page is still under construction and starting afresh. It will be added to from future posts.
…until next time
…hurry up and deliver my shit Vanbar! I need my fix!
…cheers Pete.
