This is my 300th entry here and I guess it feels like a milestone just because it’s a nice round number. Some people who post photos daily would have hit this marker long ago but I’m a little more slack than that.

I feel like I’m in a bit of a rut photographically and that’s partly do do with the fact that the last quite large batch of film I got back was underwhelming to me. But I have to keep reminding myself that it was 7 rolls from a new camera and that the results were a combination of learning it’s ways and also being a tad snap-happy — which a new toy always incites in me.

In the last week I’ve just started discussing a possible photo book project with a few people and that is getting me excited to push past these low feelings about my photos. Like the recent independently published Toy Camera book, the idea behind this book idea is to bring together a small group of photographers of somewhat varied styles. My hope is to produce a full colour book with 10 or less photographers represented.

Stay tuned for more on that in the coming months.
