Janice & Daryls Wedding.
Posted on June 2, 2013
In Late March, Janice and Daryl got married, and naturally i took a few cameras along…
i had my Leica M6TTL (with Tri-X of course), which always seems to get the attention of the actual wedding photographers (not sure why… 
) and my Ricoh GR1s with Provia 400X.
and a selfie to finish of!

i seriously underrated this film.
very sharp, very fine grain, and quite a large dynamic range with very accurate colours!
not bad for a consumer grade film..
recent additions.
Posted on April 1, 2013
recently i have picked up a few new cameras.
first was a Pentax 645 then came a Olympus XA2 ( and i think i have just bought a 6×17 MF camera… )
i have a few photos from both of those cameras, as well as some from my Hasselblad and Pentax LX.
i am very happy both!
