#58 Gordon Szeto- Pandemic Days and Nights
Saturday Oct 23, 2021
Saturday Oct 23, 2021
“I like to see myself as a storyteller. Photography happens to be the way I tell stories. I see the world in a certain way and try to create visual images to take viewers on a journey.
I gravitate towards emotional, ethereal and dream-like imagery and I use cameras like pinholes and lenses like the Aero Ektar 178mm as tools to create the look and feel I strive for”.

#57 Sandy King, The Pyro Cat
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
#57 Sandy King
Louisiana born and bred, lover and teacher of Spanish literature, citizen of the world, fine art printer, abstract landscape photographer…..oh and did I mention he also loved staining developers so much that he developed his own?
I first became aware of Sandy King as, like many others, I began investigating Pyro staining developers. There is much, much more to Sandy than his work developing PyrocatHD and today we scratch away at the surface.
Sandy’s links
http://www.sandykingphotography.com/
Things we chatted about on the show:
As we are chatting I can see Erik Mathy moving his fingers over his keyboard as he sends links to us all via our messenger chat . He seems to be able to pick up on things the guest is saying, do the Google research and send the links over and still keep track of the conversation....clearly he isn’t a proper male!
https://groups.io/g/carbon?fbclid=IwAR2deRdt4MKE_ANQBbyE6k2u3Qp4TtCiR2H4E4sIYZbYG8a8FoLEL7QbSB4
Sandy mentioned Sam Wang a few times – I hope I have the correct person here – either way it’s pretty interesting.
https://www.alternativephotography.com/sam-wang-review/
Phil Davis, author of Beyond The Zone System is a book that I have but despite several attempts remains impenetrable to me. I was, therefore pleased that even Sandy struggled with it…..at least on the first read.
Of course the much mentioned article by Sandy on Pyro developers which is available from his website.
http://www.sandykingphotography.com/resources/technical-writing/pyro-staining-developers
Also.

#56 Erik & The Tubers
Just over twelve months ago, Andrew and Simon were joined by the wonderful Jenny Sampson after being spotted on the front page of the relatively obscure BBC.co.uk website with a striking wet plate image. During an excellent discussion of Jenny's work, we touched upon and fell over Jenny's description of her collaboration with the Rolls & Tubes Collective; a group of photographers taking the inexplicable Covid related toilet roll shortage and recreating some of photography's greatest moments with bog roll.
An excellent body of work was created and now Jenny along with Colleen Mullins, Christy McDonald and Nicole White have a sold out publication and success beyond their wildest dreams.
To catch up the story, we've sent Erik all the way to California to delve deeper into the project and relive the journey.

Kelly-Ann Bobb's Caribbean Photographic Practice
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
Thursday Aug 12, 2021
Kelly-Ann Bobb is an analogue freelance photographer based in the twin island state of Trinidad and Tobago.
She has always had a natural inclination towards creativity. After completing medical school, she fell in love with the unending complexities of film photography.
She utilizes photography as a tool of unmasking, telling stories that would not otherwise be told. Revealing as much of herself as the subjects she photographs.
Kelly’s links
https://www.instagram.com/kellyannbobb_photography/
Things we chatted about on the show:
We spent a fair part of the time talking about two of Kelly’s projects that have received widespread acclaim.“Home Alone” and “Sacred Bodies and the Divine” – go to Kelly’s IG page to see examples.
https://www.tokyofotoawards.jp/winners/social/2020/Sacred-Bodies-1/
https://www.lensculture.com/search/projects?q=kelly-ann+bobb
The “Home Alone” project was born out of lockdown and explores how we handle solitude – its more than that so listen to the show as Kelly explains it better.
Gum Oil printing – Kelly shared her experiences and love for all things alternative print making.
Both Kelly and Erik recommend the work of Anna Ostania for all things gum oil.
https://annaostanina.com/?fbclid=IwAR15CjB-AIrjIBK6Rj3BkRAkgEBCA7cukNciL7uprBqtQ1k6kgQ_NpNursE
We had a fascinating conversation about how traditional colour film was balances around pale Caucasian skin.
Erik (good old Erik) found an interesting link.
And Gordon Parks.
We got talking about photographing in a hospital environment – here are some good books to check out.

#54 Catch Up
Monday Jul 26, 2021
Monday Jul 26, 2021
Just the three of us this week as we recover from the trip to Dave Shrimpton’s house.
This was meant to be more of an email show but there was really only one we could read out and that was just a brilliant one from Pakistan based visual artist Jahanzeb Haroon.
Things we chatted about on the show:
Andrew kicked off the discussion with “what we’ve all been up to”. Shamefully but rationally explained, no LF work from him for ages. The darkroom extension has been an all consuming project and with the first paying workshop customer coming in August the pressure has been on to at least get it functional, and it is now.
Returning from a holiday in Northumberland Andrew has a number of rolls of fil m to develop including 4 or 5 127 films, some HP5 and a roll of expired Astia that he exposed in his Toyo 45a with the 6x17 back. The question goes begging “do we or should we take large format gear on a family holiday”?
Another reason for not exposing too much LF film recently is the need to nail down rotary processing in his Jobo CPE2 or the new variable speed rotating base recently received from Student Photo Store on ebay. Settling down to PyrocatHD and ID111+1 will reduce the creative choices, and darkroom is needed to play around.
Earlier in the year Mat Marrash posted a video all about determining your own personal film speed and “normal” developing time using a Stouffer TP45 step wedge, after years of doing this by trial and error Andrew has taken the plunge and ordered a step wedge.
Mat’s video and a link to the Stouffer site below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN-LM1lM8Kg&t=1005s
Both Erik and Simon have been up to way more exciting things, actually exposing and playing around with LF film and paper.
Erik has been deep diving into lens building with Bronica ETRS lenses and more (see Erik’s IG site below).
Erik posted into the LFPP Facebook group ongoing work with Faux Orotones with some lovely results.
The Orotone process was made famous by Edward Curtis and more info can be found on line (OK Wikipedia to the rescue) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orotone
Erik is looking for a similar effect using gold spray paint and it works really well.
Simon has been busy using his Chroma camera both in and out of the studio with some expired velvia and, in the 6 towns studio, some Harman Direct Positive paper. We have a chat about the challenges of using HDP and its limited tonal range (high contrast). The Ilford PDF data sheet and a recent Ilford video presented by Rachel Brewster-Wright are very helpful if you are thinking of using this great paper for the first time.
https://www.ilfordphoto.com/harman-direct-positive-paper-sheets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUSiRwfOHs
On the subject of film speed testing friend of the show Billy Sanford recently appeared on the Sunny 16 presents show and talked about his experience with a Richard Pickup approach to film speed testing – he actually cited our LFPP interview with Richard as inspiration.
https://sunny16presents.podbean.com/e/on-location-the-goldilocks-negative-with-billy-sanford/
LFPP listener and FB member Jahenzeb Haroon sent in a lovely email talking all about analogue photography in Pakistan, it’s a great email and do check out Jahenzeb’s work which he produces very much against the odds. We take off our collective hats and not in his direction.
https://www.instagram.com/junk.lab/
And this link all about one of Pakistan’s oldest photography practices that is still going.

#53 Dave Shrimpton, Live Plate! Live Plate!
Monday Jul 12, 2021
Monday Jul 12, 2021
Simon, Andrew and Yevgeni venture out on their first LFPP outside broadcast. Unfortunately Erik couldn’t get a ticket across the Atlantic so we had to use a naked female shop dummy as an able replacement.
After two previous attempts we arrive at the wonderful imaginarium where Dave eats, sleeps and breathes creative photography.
For part 2 we are mostly in the darkroom where the magic is revealed and the Tintypes of Dave come out pretty darn well.
What a brilliant day we had and both of us are hooked.
Things we chatted about on the show:
Dave works closely with Jeff Perry who has helped him bring his photographic equipment vision to reality and Andrew will be using his 4x5 back and wetplate insert in pt 2
https://20thcenturycamera.com/
Dave goes out of his way to shop locally where he can for his film and chemical supplies.
RK Photographic is a long established high street retailer originally based in Potters bar, North London they recently relocated to Letchworth.
https://www.thedarkroom.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR0N2nk7wCiS0zBWoLhGYFflKGw0iPn6n9TyN07r3B6RbabwrbqjJYsScX0
Kevin Lunham operates Wet Plate Supplies from Ramsey (down the road from Andrew) and is a brilliant place for all you may need for wet plate and your alternative photographic process.
Process Supplies in London – Founded in 1928 PS are one of the oldest photographic supply companies in Great Britain and still run by the Willes family in the same Clerkenwell premises.
Dave Burnett – the guy that shot the 2012 Olympic Games on a Speed Graphic with an Aero Ektar lens and took the photographs that led Dave into LF photography.

#52 LFPP On Tour With Dave Shrimpton
Monday Jun 28, 2021
Monday Jun 28, 2021
Simon, Andrew and Yevgeni venture out on their first LFPP outside broadcast. Unfortunately Erik couldn’t get a ticket across the Atlantic so we had to use a naked female shop dummy as an able replacement.
After two previous attempts we arrive at the wonderful imaginarium where Dave eats, sleeps and breathes creative photography.
For part 1 we chat to Dave over coffee and Kit Kats as he shows us his various go to 4x5 cameras. Venturing into his photographic imaginarium that is his studio and we are like kiddies in a sweetshop…..oh and Simon exposes some LF film in his Chroma Carbon Adventurer camera.

#50 Deborah Parkin
An introduction from Deborah’s website.
“I live with my family & animals in the beautifully wild North Pennines. My work is rooted in family life & my environment - past & present. I have been photographing for many years & use a variety of mediums - from large format to digital & processes such as Wet Plate Collodion, bromoil, albumen, cyantotype & silver gelatin.
My work has been exhibited & published worldwide - including Japan, U.S. U.K, Bulgaria, Iran & China & is held in many private collections from individual collectors (U.S, U.K, Europe, Japan) to museums & galleries - including the Fox Talbot Museum (UK) & the Centre for Fine Art Photography (U.S) & Charlet Gallery (Paris).
My books are published by Galerie Vevais”.
Things we chatted about on the show:
In between talking about Deborah’s life, her past, memories and how they impact her work we discussed so many other influences and hopefully most of them are here.

#49 Naturally Decaffeinated, Dang!
Tuesday Apr 13, 2021
Tuesday Apr 13, 2021
Now that we don’t have the “bar room” chatter at the beginning of each show these occasional catch up shows allow us to update each other on all that we’ve been up to large format wise, or not, as the case may be.
So no guest but, “dang” we enjoyed shooting the breeze and the welcome return of “Ask Erik”.
Things we chatted about on the show:
Andrew has been in a bit of a photo slump for a few weeks now, and that’s really odd as it’s completely out of character. Dr Erik tries to diagnose his problems.
Both Andrew and Erik have been playing around with previous guest Jason Lane’s excellent dry plates. Andrew has been using the ISO 25 (shot at ISO 6) 1/6th (easier to type it than say it) plates in his Rolleiflex and developing with ID11 1+1 with minimal agitation to give some control over contrast. Seems to be working well which is more than can be said for his attempts so far with 4x5 ISO 2 plates – still more light needed methinks but we discuss some hints and tips.
Erik has started a little project photographing cars on driveways in his new neighbourhood as a commentary on all things American (way too deep for Simon and Andrew but we humour him).
You can find out all about Jason’s plates here, where to buy them and lots of useful technical detail to help get best results (which Andrew needs to read apparently).

Simon, surprise, surprise, has been buying more cameras this time it’s a Polaroid roll film camera that he will be converting to take 4x5 sheets. Lots of folk convert these cameras but Simon is ignoring all their advice and ploughing his own furrow so we look forward to how that turns out.
Erik mentioned a Thingyverse downloadable set of files for 4x5 conversion – a really great website where you can purchase the thing as a kit if you don’t have access to a 3D printer.
Simon also purchased a French enlarger lens to use on his graphic camera (maybe) – a Boyer Saphir. These series of lenses are M39 mount and are named after a variety of precious stones (don’t ask).
Andrew mentioned David Lago de Montana from the RB67 FB group who is making Instax Square backs for the RB – OK not LF but it formed part of a discussion around 4x5 conversions.
