20 years ago photographer Charlie Waite told me to aim for 9 good images a year. If you have 9 you're proud of, it's been a good year. Here's a couple of my good 9 from 2025 involving glass, all taken on 35mm. #35mm #glasshouse

This is stunning 👏🏻

Hurray for you being here Mary.

This happened to me earlier and now I'm fine. Feeling less invalid.

Bloody exciting to see so many creative and talented people who do good join this space. I'm Laura, an ex-Museum fundraiser now biodiversity fundraiser. Artist, photographer, tired mum. Hello! 🩵 Recent nature pics:

Me too, for me it's the process. Sometimes the outcome is what I'd hoped for 🩵

Beautiful blues.

Botanical wet #cyanotypes are a current fave. Lighter on the land than lumens and a great, creative way to experiment.

From nine to five, I have to spend my time at work
My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach someday

Thank you! Far better than expected.

Ooh that's nice.

Lumen of kale

I made a kale #lumen in my #greenhouse. I left it there for 3 weeks - partly because I've been busy. At one stage I stuck a plant on top of the glass. It came out rather nicely, even with a bits of soil stuck on it. An easy way to combine a love of #photography and #gardening.

Parisian graveyard roses.

Ship

A dark Monday morning, like this little boat in Marseille on #cinestill with a faulty #konicac35. So many of my cameras are faulty.
