Film to digital: 76 - 96
A pathway through a lifetime's preoccupation with machinery and its inevitable decay from early Zenith 35mm of the late nineteen seventies, via medium format 645 and 67 film and on towards Nikon digital 35mm DSLR and Mamiya digital back medium format.
Film images have been scanned and digitally edited to maintain the texture of the original where possible.
Film stock varies between good old Kodak Gold, Ilford XP2 HP5 and FP4 120 to Agfa APX400 and Ilford SFX200 near infra-red medium format film.
