Behind the image #13

February 15, 2015

The first day of our holiday in an unseasonably warm February half term. 

At the time the image symbolised the essence of childhood memories;  a family seaside holiday on the beach, sea views, ice cream and uncomplicated good times.

Now, a year on, it is an image full of melancholy and a reminder of a fragile innocence about to be forever broken.

Till next time

Matt Peers

The shifting verticals and horizontals of Milton Keynes
Feb 27, 2020

I was obviously a good boy in 2019, as at Christmas, Santa Claus flew via Japan and got me a 75mm f4.5 shift lens for my Pentax 67II. Where better to test the precise verticals than the clean lines of Milton Keynes…

Not being Vivian Maier - a sort of review of the Rolleiflex 2.8f
Nov 12, 2019

It has nearly been 12 months since I got my hands on a Rolleiflex 2.8f, and whilst I'm not usually a reviewer of equipment, I'd like to share my experience of using this iconic camera and the inspiration behind me finally owning one.

What you doing?"

"What you doing that for?"

"Why here?"

I get these questions regularly when I'm out shooting, but never more so than my recent couple of visits to Milton Keynes.
