Pinching myself that this is now out in the world — @Leica_UK asked me late last year to share a little about the role my Leica M6 has played in my photography and travels, as part of the continued story of the launch of the *new* M6 <3 🔴🎞 #leicam6 youtube.com/watch?v=UNd4Pslp…

Still true, for better or worse.

After using @bookingcom for close to 20 years, I can’t use or recommend their services anymore. A poorly-designed car hire process resulted in a cancelled booking at the counter (for which Booking.com was refunded), yet they still charged me, and deleted my review.

Working on securing funding for a number of creative projects (for myself and on behalf of others) — if you’re reading this and like the sound of becoming a patron (or producer), drop me a line.

Hot shoe adapter arrived for the F3 so adding some flash to my first roll. The Nikon F, F3, and F3 shipped with proprietary flash attachments and require adapters in order to mount standard flash units. Enter the AS-4 flash coupler for the F3 🔥

Exploring Nikons I've never used. The F3 and F4 are pretty amazing. I still have my dad's Nikon F (and some great lenses), and I use an F5 and F100 when I need autofocus on 35mm, but the gap between eras has been fascinating me lately. Also, film-era ads are outstanding.

As we start a new week with a new IG grid ratio, ignore sources saying the grid is 4:5 — the actual ratio is 3:4, the same as the iPhone's default camera and 6×4.5 medium format cameras.

Entering a competition from @origincoffee so unashamedly sharing my referral link to get a better chance of winning 😬 Also, their coffee is great, I pay for a subscription, and if you enjoy good beans, why not get £5 off? prz.io/ZLrpYbph5

Digging through my @Flickr archives for photos from SXSW 2007 and found this time capsule with @paulboag, just after he’d interviewed me ✌🏼

I’ve missed this camera. Leica’s analog service queue is lengthy, as film’s resurgence has increased the demand not only for cameras, but for their maintenance. Many thanks to the experts in Wetzlar for bringing this 38-year-old machine back to factory spec ❤️

Eager to get my hands on an iPhone 16 Pro for testing. Not planning to upgrade as the 15 Pro is stellar, but the new camera functionality could be a big, practical improvement.

Harman Phoenix is now in medium format, and it’s a big step up, not only in size but in quality. The film feels like it has evolved since its 35mm introduction last year, and the results are a lot more consistent (and lovely).

These frames captured on a Pentax 645n using the in-camera meter @ 200ISO, metered for midtones. Scanned as positives by HarmanLab, converted manually by the lab techs in Photoshop.

Needed a screen break so walked around the park on a mini-scavenger hunt, using @halidecamera’s #processzero and the 15 Pro’s 3x lens. Quick #shotoniphone thread:

Testing RZ framing for Frankinstax (frame is my own construction paper prototype, and camera is pointing straight down, hence the slippage at the bottom). Instax film is similar to slide film for metering, so meter for highlights and don't expect much from the shadows.

by “frame” I meant “viewfinder mask” and I know those are miles apart, but hey

This is a great addition — love that it’s on all iPhone 16 models, too, and not limited to the Pro lineup 💪🏼
Excited to share the new Camera Control on iPhone 16. Swipe on it to quickly adjust your camera settings like zoom, and press it to capture

The M3 was released 70 years ago — the Leica that redefined an era. I've been fortunate to find two of these brilliant cameras during years where there wasn't much interest in film. Amazing to think how long these cameras have been making images — I suspect they'll outlive me.
