These are test photos taken on my new camera, a Pentax K5 II shot moments ago. Having had a Pentax K-x for a few years now the contact points are so intuitive, the ergonomics being perfect. Feeling very sturdy which is important to me as I have a slight shake, it feels so good in the hand. Operation is faultless, sharp, fast focusing and the metering functions are instantly accessible and usable. Combine this with full weather proofing on both camera and lenses makes everything about this camera right! "I BLOODY LOVE IT"

This was taken on the last batch of test film that was released by the Impossible Project 3 months ago. Quinn and I got some pretty good results and I got to rummage her stuff and rearrange it. I love shooting indoors, because the way a scene looks is a bit more fluid. I can slide a couch out of the way, put up a backdrop, or move everything closer to the windows so I can utilize the natural light that's available. As a matter of fact, using the light coming in through the windows was important on this shoot for testing something else, because I was still getting the hang of my new SLR 680. I don't think I'd done more than one or two other shoots with that camera, and I'm probably just now getting the hang of it. I takes a lot of testing to get used to these old cameras and new film types.

I can’t recall ever seeing a Bush Stone‑curlew actually take to the air. For a moment this one looked ready to launch, but it ended up being only a mock take‑off.
I 've found out later that this pose is typical for their courtship dance.

“To love. To be loved.
To never forget your own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence
and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places.
To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated
or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch.
To try and understand.
To never look away.
And never, never, to forget.”
