On 23 September 1954 hundreds of schoolchildren, armed with sticks and penknives, descended on Glasgow’s impressively atmospheric Southern Necropolis determined to hunt down the infamous "Gorbals Vampire", a horrible monster whose iron teeth, they claimed, had - as vampires tend to do - exsanguinated two classmates.
Despite three days of searching and many near misses, the monster eluded them. The hysteria subsided, but the evil bloodsucker was never caught, hence a Halloween stroll in this neck of the woods can be a little spine-tingling, not least when you spot the other graveyard legend, "The White Lady" (www.southernnecropolis.co.uk/page928.html), which is said to be haunted.
The now much weathered memorial was erected by local carpet manufacturer John S. Smith, and dedicated to his wife, Magdalene, who died in a tragic tramcar accident on Queens Drive as she returned home from church on 29th October 1933. Many reliable informers have alleged that the head of the veiled lady on the stone turns to follow you as you walk past, and glows gently at night.

Small pond, broken branch, and reflections, in now completely devastated forest. Taken on 15th March 2014.
Taken with Pentax MZ-S camera and smc Pentax-FA 50mm F1.4 lens, on Fujichrome Sensia 100 film. 1/90s, ƒ/2.4, at 100ASA - gotta love cameras that write parameters on film borders. As usual, scanning slide film is problematic, but this time, I got at least editable results.

Two hours worth of driving took me near this cable roll, sitting abandoned in the wild. But, more importantly, it took me to the place where my friend was waiting for me, where we exchanged a few pieces of photo equipment, explored the surroundings, and went for a coffee. I'd repeat that drive for the same outcome at any given moment!

One from my second roll of home developed film. This time I used HP5+ (shot at box speed) instead of Kodak Tri-X. Unfortunately, I had a really difficult time getting the roll onto the developing reel. It was very hot / humid and the roll started to stick together. I was able to pull it apart, but as you can image, this left the film in a heavily scratched state. This is one of the few relatively unaffected frames. Despite this setback, I'm very pleased with the look of Ilford HP5+. Next on my list is Fujifilm Acros 100.

This photograph is a quiet observation of an ordinary yet profound moment, something I was drawn to as I wandered through the aisles with my Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar in hand. The interplay of stillness and movement struck me immediately: the elderly man’s calm, reflective demeanor set against the purposeful motion of the woman beside him. I wanted to capture the subtle tension between their energies—the contemplative patience of one and the brisk action of the other. The Shanghai GP3 100 film lent itself perfectly to this scene, with its soft grain and smooth tonal range, which felt just right for the muted intimacy of the grocery store’s atmosphere.
I remember how the overhead fluorescent lights bathed the scene in an even, diffused glow, highlighting textures without overwhelming the subjects. The Rolleiflex’s lens rendered the man’s profile in exquisite detail, from the lines etched on his face to the faint sheen on his jacket, while the woman’s slightly blurred hand in motion added a sense of fleeting vitality. That balance between sharpness and blur felt like the essence of the moment itself—time standing still for him while it moved briskly for her. The shallow depth of field helped isolate them from the cluttered background, creating a quiet focus amid the mundane.
What stayed with me most after I developed the film was the expression on the man’s face. There’s a wistfulness in his gaze that feels timeless, as if he’s not just observing the moment but carrying with him decades of similar ones. I find it fascinating how the woman—oblivious to his thoughts—grounds the scene in the present with her decisive action, bridging the everyday and the eternal. This was one of those moments that reminded me why I shoot analog: the patience of framing the shot, the texture of the film, and the depth of the story are all things that digital just can’t replicate.

Again, a sunny day (the same one!) in December in a park, and a camera I've never used before. It's as simple as it can be, one shutter speed, one aperture and a plastic lens, but that works surprisingly well.
Taken with Dubblefilm Show, a simple, plastic film camera and its built-in 32mm F8 lens, on AgfaPhoto APX 400 film. Developed in Adox Adonal, 1+50 dilution, at 22°C.

Due to short deadlines and understaffed team, I missed a vacation on the seaside this year. But photos from vacation in Bilice, Croatia four years ago evoke memories, they've been hiding in the archives for too long - that year, we visited a friend in Bilice and went to Terraneo festival in nearby Šibenik, and had a very good time. Early August 2013.

Somehow, the film backing paper texture transferred to the film, that's the "texture" I tried to minimize, but couldn't remove entirely.

This was taken through a window at the end of the corridor where my room was on the 27th floor of the Hilton Financial District in San Francisco. I normally avoid taking through a window but in this case the choice was to miss a scene like this or take it through the window! I shielded the lens with my hand as best I could but there are still some faint lines from the incomplete shading in the upper right which I have done my best to get rid of with some subtle editing.
I have been having a terribly frustrating time with my cheap crummy HP scanner since it occassionally works with Vuescan. When it does, I can pull off a very reasonable scan like this (this is a stack of eight scans to get better tonality and less sensor noise from the scanner). Most of the time, however, Vuescan completes the scan without saving a file.
I absolutely loved my week in San Francisco. I stayed in a beautiful place very close to where my course was and I left with RHSCA and RHCE qualifications under my belt!
Oh, and some nice pics!

Plomin Power Station is a coal-fired power station near Plomin, Croatia. As of 2007, its production corresponded to 13% of Croatia's electricity needs. The power plant consists of two boiler units, Plomin A, built in 1969 and Plomin B, built in 2000, both generating a total of 330 megawatt. Plomin Power Station has a 340 metres (1120 ft) tall chimney, which is the tallest constructed structure in Croatia. Read more on Wikipedia.
