A year on and not a single day goes by without a hollow feeling, the man I owe everything to and more, I cannot repay you, nor would I have ever been able too even with infinite time.
I will pass the kindness, patience, understanding and love that you taught me onwards throughout my life.
The day I became a man was when I laid your ashes into the ground and you finally to rest. Poetic really, you would have held me in my first moments in this world and I held you in your last.
I don’t know what the future holds for me but I know I have to do it without turning to you for guidance or reassurance, I have to walk and learn alone.
I didn’t just lose a Father, a mentor or someone to look up to, I lost my best friend. I spent many years laughing with you, enjoying the same hobbies, listening to your ideas on creative projects, yours mainly being music and photography. I would have never thought that the flame that burnt so brightly in my life would have been gone so soon, my world is darker. I’d trade all my tomorrows just for a single yesterday with you, even though I know it wouldn’t be enough, I’d want more.
Till I see you again, you live on in the songs, the people, the memories, the trees you planted and the art you created. You will live forever.
I am eternally grateful and will never stop missing you.
I hope you find peace in this world or the next. 04/06/1963 -08/08/2024
To celebrate World Earth Day, please enjoy one of my favourite photos from a lil while back. 4 Young Long Eared Owls.

From a chaotic night, celebrating the @diego.deabreu18 18th birthday. All shot on film, blinded most people with the flash… I did warn them. Oh well, enjoy!

Just a lil film test. Kodak Tri-X with a yellow filter, just seeing for myself how it goes and how my developing techniques work with this. I’m happy with it, the contrast of the film is heightened, enjoy.

Film dump from a solo trip to London.
After avoiding X-Rays and CT scans in the airports, I learn that my fuck ass Lomograhpy LC-A+ has metering issues, that the focus lever isn’t perfectly aligned and back plate scratches the films.🥰🥰
Please enjoy some “lo-fi” lomo magic. Nothing special but AI couldn’t replicate the human errors of life.

The first two photos are of the original home of The Jersey Surf Club which is Europe’s oldest surf club. I had a wonderful chat with a family member who’s hoping to bring it back to its former glory to commemorate it.
Not a bad day off. Straight out of camera JPEG, 5500k for WB, 35mm lens.

Wandering through the Victorian House at Jersey Museum. Always an enjoyable experience.
Getting used to a new camera and the exposure metering, all are JPEGs straight from camera and a slight rotate for the crop. Apart from that no editing. I will edit when I can afford the yearly subscription fee for C1.
