I don't know about "THE", but if the cap fits... :-)

I use a Tachihara, not quite an Ebony but then beggars (read landscape photographers) can't be choosers.

Hi Nige,

Yep still around, bigger and better than ever, or at least I think so :-)

I went quiet for a couple of years while I built my 6x6 motorhome, but the site is updated regularly these days. New stuff going up soon, probably late tonite.

I used to develop with my home-made dip-n-dunk tanks and print in the darkroom. These days however I live on the road in a motorhome, so darkroom work is not on.

I have to have film developed in labs. I no longer shoot sheet film because it's too expensive to get processed, and there aren't that many places that can do it. I uses 120 film in a 6x12 back on the Tachihara, it's still a bit difficult to find a lab to process but not impossible, many 1 hour labs have the facilities. 35mm just gets processed at the cheapest lab in whatever town I happen to be in.

After that I do rough scans for the web etc on my Epson 1640SU (or LS4000
for 35mm), when I get an order I send negs to Perth for Flextight scans.
However I'm petrified I'll loose a neg in the mail, plus it adds about a week to my response to an order. So I've been looking into buying my own Flextight, but they're sooo expensive.

Printing is performed by Custom Colour or Latrobe on Pegasus or Lightjet printers.

It ain't easy being a photographer and living on the road, but the alternative is to get a real job :-)

Regards Rob
