Was wandering around there after the HF photowalk! My son lives about 200 yards from the park.

What’s your fave? Mulholland Drive is pretty fab.

Dang. I’m kind of addicted to your images.

Great photo. And a great film. Two thirds of our household has been well-and-truly Lynched.

Just discovered The Cherry Pit in Cambridge. For those in the know, they’re having a Twin Peaks-themed party sometime around Halloween !

#camerasandbeers #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead Just polished off a roll of #cinestill XX in my Minolta Dynax 800si, with 70-210mm f4. Now loading up some #Kodak #Ultramax.

Sounds like a plan. Love me some brutalist architecture 😎

One of those images that looks flat and uninteresting at first glance - we’re all so used to stuff leaping out and hitting us in the face. However… a deeper inspection rewards with lovely detail and tones. Yum 😎

Starting to recognise your work before the name scrolls into view 😉🤘🤘

Interesting images, but not quite home wall material, personally 😉

Almost forgot the #pentax17 ran on batteries until mine finally ran out yesterday! New one installed today. Old one lasted from July 2025 🤘🤘 #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead

I’m sensing this thing is bigger than we imagined…

#wwhfpd Yes I went on the WWHF photowalk. No, these aren’t half frame shots 😂 They’re from my Olympus XA2. Half-frame shots to come, eventually... #wwhf

Beautiful angles and shades. An extremely rich image.

Martin Ley aka EmDashMan @emdashman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Oof! Absolutely floored by those images, and a great writeup on your website. That’s definitely the look I go for when I get the chance. Yummy.

Martin Ley aka EmDashMan @emdashman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I think this is my favourite of all the ones you e shared. Has a magical atmosphere.

Martin Ley aka EmDashMan @emdashman.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Wow. You don’t hang about!! I just sent my roll of Velvia off to a lab - only bought a couple of rolls to test it out, so not worth investing in a kit to do it myself… Great to meet you on Saturday, BTW 😎

Martin Ley aka EmDashMan @emdashman.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I don’t think you’re supposed to use it like that… 😂

Hey #filmphotography #believeinfilm friends. I have a job lot of 14 photography books for sale. I’d rather they all went in one go £50 the lot, or £5 each. Can only post 10 pics, so last in reply…

Great that you made it Andrew! Swans notwithstanding. After the photowalk, I hoofed it around Crystal Palace Park with my son that afternoon. Then had to walk from Whitechapel to Liverpool Street on the way back as the Elizabeth line seemed beset by delays. So, I defo got my steps in 😂

Martin Ley aka EmDashMan @emdashman.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

See ya there! I am also railcarded-up 😎

CP2 has to be one of my favourite film stocks. Great image!

Finally got around to developing some more colour film (And took delivery of an Apple press so I can make more cider 😎) #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm

#iphonephoto #digital Window? Wall? I really like the ambiguity in this shot (as well as the colours).

Light reflected from the yellow wall onto a red carpet gives the impression that the wall is a window.

Martin Ley aka EmDashMan @emdashman.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Yeah, I like your approach in some of those diptychs 😎

Martin Ley aka EmDashMan @emdashman.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Sophie and I are rewatching the first series. Again 😎 So good. I bought it on Amazon Prime. I have pretty much the whole oeuvre covered on various formats, as well as standalone films. The Lynch/Badalamenti duo was formidable.

Martin Ley aka EmDashMan @emdashman.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Impressive, but for some reason these red/purple/whatever films just don’t float my boat. Each to their own, I guess. No denying the underlying shots/tones are way cool though 😎

We shared the experience with a piece of welding glass…
