OK, so you may have seen my waffling post about the lure of large format, if not go have a read, it may give you some background about my most recent stint of insanity….
…Namely, selling my Canon 5D and some other bits to finance a Sinar P2 5×4 (and 10×8) outfit. This voyage into the land of large format work is still very much in its infancy, I’ve shot a few 5×4 portraits of friends but have yet to get them developed. Pretty soon I should be using this thing ‘in the near field’ ie. within lugging distance of my car boot — I’m hoping to start shooting what is perhaps my most artistically ambitious project to date: I’m just not going to tell you what it’s about yet.
What I will tell you is that it will be shot exclusively on 10×8 colour print film, I’m guessing this may indicate my level of commitment to this undertaking, It’s something I’m extremely passionate about. Hopefully I can share some of my results with you in the not too distant future.
Looking forward to seeing the result
This weekend met someone photographing with a Large Thing

Look forward to hearing more about this. Goodluck, I’ve got the shivers.
