Guernsey 2025: Analogue - Pentax 17 - First Roll

By day the Jemaa el-Fnaa is a bustling market with traders, and entertainers seeing a coin or two from the visitors. By night it transforms into a huge open air food court. Brightly lit against the night, with a myriad of scents from the cooking meats and spices.

I'd love to own my own boat so that I could sail around the islands many coves and bays taking photos of all the sea-life. Maybe one day, but in the meantime I have to content myself with the occasional trip on the tourist trips and hope the wildlife isn't being shy that day. These are from two boat tours that summer.

A dull but crisp morning walk around Greenwich Market a few days before Christmas. I knew there would be Christmas lights all over so shot with a star filter. I'm still not sure that was the right call, but it's good to try something different occasionally.

I tried my hand (with a lot of assistance) at batik painting in Kasongan, Indonesia.

A walk up the hill to Vale Castle from Bordeaux and looking out across the industrial north. Fujifilm recently released a camera that has an aspect ratio dial, which mirrors all the panoramic analogue cameras from their history. I've always had a bit of a fascination with ultrawide in PC gaming, so I thought why not try to replicate this with my own camera. Framing without gridlines for the 2:1 and 17:6 ratios is more challenging than usual but I'm happy with how these came out. I can't see myself using this style for street and documentary, but for the limited landscapes that I take, I can see this becoming a go-to.

A true learning experience. My first time shooting RAW and my first time plucking up the courage to shoot street. This is a selection of images that convey the overwhelming assault on the senses I felt entering the Marrakech Souks
