hello again blog...




Brian our family friend let me borrow his Mamiya medium format that he used to use when he was working on fleet street. Basically now i want one. Here are some dodgy first shots - hopefully when I develop the other films I will get some better ones!

d.i.y. darkroom.

after spending ridiculous amounts of money on getting my films developed i decided to have a go at doing it myself to save me some coinage for topshop. more money and more clothes. everyone's a winner.

  • d.i.y. measuring cylinders = only thing in the house which has volume measurements = washing powder scoops.
  • d.i.y. thermometer = cooking thermometer (you can find out the temperature to make caramel whilst developing)
  • d.i.y. developing room = bathroom (retro tiles optional)
  • d.i.y. water jugs = natures finest pineapple chunk containers

  • d.i.y. drying cabinet = ric +ladder + 2x1 + drawing pin

  • d.i.y. drying = the sun.

boredom strikes.




home = free food + willingness to do work you don't have to do
sushi = new addiction

zehn jahre planen.

we had to make a plan for the next 10 years of our career on a folded piece of a2. throughout the whole process i felt massively constricted and just felt like i was being forced to make an impossible to follow set of instructions. i decided to take this theme on board and make some air fix model style instructions for building myself and my 'future life'.
