More from Kingdom of the East Angles, a Holga film project: Shingle Foam, Dunwich, 2026 www.hawkins-weeks.com/portfolio/ki... #photography #landscape #BlackAndWhite #film #holga #BelieveInFilm #ECK

A black and white, square-crop photograph captures waves crashing onto a dark, pebbly shoreline under a heavy, overcast sky. The image has a grainy texture, with prominent dark circular spots scattered across the upper portion, resembling a vintage pinhole camera effect or film defects. The shoreline extends from the bottom left corner diagonally towards the distant upper right, where the land meets the horizon line. White foam from a receding wave dominates the lower right foreground, its edge cutting sharply against the dark pebbles. The sea stretches out to the right, showing slight texture from waves further out.

Feeling rather nostalgic this evening as my daughter moves back to university to start her postgraduate degree in literature. As I sit here going through my archive, I remember this photo taken on one of our holidays in the Lake District. So many memories as time passes 🖤

Roman Vishniac. Modernist yet romantic, monumental, sociological yet playful, his work imbibes of the music of people and place, portraying the rituals of an old society about to be swept away by the maelstrom of war.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have been overwhelmed by them. Apologies for not replying to each one individually - I am sure you all understand that I have so much to deal with right now, but please know that I have read every single one and they have been a great source of comfort. ❤️

New series - I will write about soon. I've wanted to portray the feelings I have about the landscape around me as well as the life I am leading at the moment - I didn't know how to do until now. I went back to my first camera that my husband bought me 30 yrs ago & film described as 'beginners'.

Craft Land by James Fox - it’s absolutely wonderful - inspiring & filled with beautiful illustrations. As tempting as it is to try one of the crafts mentions - weaving, thatching etc, I don’t really have the time. However, it’s made my hands itch to be back in the darkroom & return to bookbinding.
