Tim's Pictures

I have used a variety of camera equipment, including Nikon D70, Olympus E-500 and Nikon D200 dSLRs, an Olympus Trip 35mm, a Bronica SQa, Hasselblad 500CM, Ricoh 500G, Canon G9, a Rollei 6006 and a Shen-Hao large-format camera.

The best of my photographs make it into my Gallery. I have a set of essays on photographic techniques if anyone finds it helpful. A selection of my work is for sale as prints, cards and posters from RedBubble. Should you find a photo here that you wish to purchase but isn't available just yet, contact me and I'll gladly upload it. Miscellaneous works in progress can be found here; I have an ongoing series of experiments in darkroom / analogue / alternative processing / contact-printing. I've recently added a photo-blog, complete with RSS feed.
