If you walk down our driveway, turn right and right again, after a few minutes you reach the Coquihalla River on its way to its confluence with the Fraser. It’s a pleasant, forested walk that borders the river and eventually loops back around to make a nice circuit route. I had some Ilford FP4 in […]
My blog has always been a place where I only ever post work shot on film and these days there are only 2 non-film cameras that I pick up; my iPhone, and my Phantom 4 Pro drone. I’ve been toying with the idea of posting some of my aerial shots from my drone on here […]
