Filmus Monochromus

Welcome

I live near Dungeness in Kent. I have been shooting black and white film since 1959, when I was eight years old. Whilst I do shoot with a digital camera my one and only love is film. You can see my currrent setup on the equipment page. Most of the images on this site are film. Digtal is always shot in RAW format and then usually processed to black and white.

I mainly shoot B&W motion picture film, either Eastman Kodak Double-X (5222) or ORWO. I also run the Project Double-X web site - where we are pooling info and data along with hints, tips and suppliers details.

It always surprises me how much film I get through each year!
