My last series of photos inspired by Funny Face/Paris and my last Poppy! She was also my very first Poppy and therefore very special to me.
Great expectations...
I was approached by someone who wanted something 'special'.
For days I was agonizing, racking my brain!
I invited her around for a chat and a bite to eat, I noticed how, when left by herself or while I was in conversation with someone else, she looked down and hugged her belly.
As I am very much a night person, I was inspired in the middle of the night, suddenly sat up in bed and had the PERFECT image in front of my mind's eye.
I consider pregnancy a very beautiful natural event, but also private, so that's why she's in silhouette.
Everybody who knows her, immediately recognizes her profile.
Prepared the studio and lights, with Paul's help, in she came, I gave her one of my Japanese house-kimonos, she took the pose with total ease.
Took a couple of polaroids, to check the angle of the lights to perfection, then I took THE SHOT, not 2 or 3, no, just the ONE!
Most people say, it's like she is looking into a 'crystal' ball, what will the future bring?
It was a girl...
Done on Hasselblad (square neg 6X6), only the sides are cropped.
Thank you, Magda.

This is my 2016 Pete! She’s a Fitzgerald glider, therefore, no DEF, no emissions. Best investment we’ve made in a long time. She’s loaded with lots of extras, plenty of horse power with a 500hp 60 series Detroit, 8” straight pipes, and plenty of creature comforts inside.

Large on-farm grain elevators and soybean storage silos mark the transformed landscapes of Canarana and Querência, Mato Grosso.
I've been looking into getting a slightly less wide lens to partner the trusty 10-20mm, as I do find occasions where I want to be a little tighter in composition. After much deliberation, I decided that I couldn't justify the cost of a 17-40L, lovely piece of glass though it is, given my current level of experience.
Unfortunately, the other options (Sigma 20-35mm, ETC) aren't significantly cheaper to justify their flaws.
Instead, after a lot of googling, I went the bargain route and picked up a Tamron 19-35mm off Ebay for £50 + postage. This was the first time I've tried it (massive plus point - 77mm filters) and I'm pretty impressed.
Yes, it has some barrel distortion, but so does my Sigma 10-20mm costing 8 times the price! Sharpness and colour definition seem good. If all the shots come out like this, I'll be a happy man.
Taken this morning at Hauxley with Coquet Island as a backdrop and a spectacular sunrise sidelighting the rocks. One of the nicest mornings I've had for a while...

I bought the Sprocket Rocket, hoping I would get very cinematic images, like the wonderful pictures of Jeff Bridges with his Widelux. Clearly, for a first roll, I'm far from having attained that goal :) But it was an interesting test, and, as a movie fan, I still like the aspect ratio.
I shot this one at the French skydiving championships.

On a Barbie birthday a few years ago I mentioned how despite my sizable Barbie collection few were of the blonde bombshell herself which is something that didn't change much since. What has, however, is the overall brand quality. Not only are we getting full prints items but dolls in a variety of sizes and shades to wear them. Of course there's still a long way for Babs to go (still waiting on an articulated AA male doll for sale @ mattel) but it's so fulfilling to see Babs & co just get better with age.
Happy Birthday gurl!!
And if it rains all day
Call on you I'll call on you
Like I used to
Slide down beside and wrap you in stories
Tailored entirely for you
I'll remind you
We exchanged a vow
I love you I always will
A call girl with yesterday eyes
Was our witness and priest
Stockport supporters club kindly supplied us a choir
Your veil was your smile
As we move down the aisle
Of the last bus home
And this is where I go
Just when it rains
Blinking and stoned
Rain in your hair
You only smoke ‘cause it's something to share
Singing bring on the night
To have and to hold
The sodium light turning silver to gold
Spitfire thin and strung like a violin
I was
Yours was the face with a grace
From a different age
You were the sun in my Sunday morning
You were the sun in my Sunday morning
Telling me never to go
So I'll live on the smile
And move down the isle
Of the last bus home
And if you're running late
This is where I'll go
elbow
a los peces del acuario.

Interesting photo taken in Ika, Croatia.
Came overexposed, since there is on Reciprocity Failure for Retro 80s, I've been using Ilford FP4+ as guide.
Got a really dense contrasty negative at the end. It was foggy but not that much. Probably overexposed film, 30 sec of exposure and red filter made it all white. There is an island in distance in middle of photo, for those with good sight.
And negative got so many black and white dots (it is visible in sea rocks at bottom of image, nasty black dots), not sure what was problem?
