PART TWO: Wind. Point. Shoot. Repeat.
It was always going to be a bit of an experiment. This 60-year-old Ricoh Half Frame camera was something of an unknown….

February looked like this:
Distance: 171 km (106.3 miles)
Longest run: 10.09 km (6.27 miles)
Average run: 7.34 km (4.56 miles)
Average pace: 5’31 /km (8’54 /mile)
Fastest km: 4’21 /km (7’00 /mile)
February: one very long puddle.
A month of sideways rain, flooded roads and footpaths and the odd, all-too-brief glimpse of sunshine. But the weekday morning runs are finally ending in daylight — and despite the weather, still got out there.

And I love it when a brief gives me an excuse to crack open the crayons and get involved in some illustration.
A little sneak peek from the studio…
Every now and then a wave of related projects land together — and lately it’s been all things farming, food and feed. I’m working on some delicious branding jobs at the moment.

Sheffield has some beautiful architecture — old and new.

The backstreets of Sheffield captured on a 1984 Polaroid Supercolor 600.
Graffiti done well brings a city to life — and I love the way instant film gives it extra soul.

Logo design, packaging, signage, digital assets — a wide-ranging brief, and incredibly rewarding to bring it all together into one cohesive identity.
A closer look at a recent branding project…
Few Island businesses have roots as deep as Briddlesford, so shaping a new brand that honours their heritage while pushing things forward has been a real privilege.

I’m looking forward to seeing what this 60-year-old camera can do.

Each image is half the size of a standard negative, which means a little more grain and a touch more character.
No screen. No preview. No undo. Just light, mechanics and patience.
Half-frame cameras date back to the early 1900s, but they really took off in the 1950s and 60s as amateur photography boomed. It was a more affordable format — a standard 36-exposure roll of 35mm film could deliver 72 images. Giving you double the bang for your buck.

A Ricoh Auto Half SE 35mm camera — mid-1960s. Mechanical. Compact. Simple.
Beaper or Zig & Zag — I can’t decide.

Today’s run was like a bad pub meal — hot in some places, frozen in others.
Awesome view nonetheless.

A full day of meetings, then a quick detour on the way home to take a couple of shots of trees. Always a gamble shooting Polaroid in low light — but these came out better than expected.

Yes, the weekday morning runs are just starting to get lighter.
January looked like this:
Distance: 206 km (128.0 miles)
Longest run: 10.44 km (6.49 miles)
Average run: 7.91 km (4.92 miles)
Average pace: 5:34 /km (8:58 /mi)
Fastest km: 4:45 /km (7:39 /mi)
VO₂ max: 46.0
January is always one of the tougher months — weekday miles in the dark and sooo much rain, but thankfully the weekend runs have delivered some sunshine.

Ready to be released into the wild…
Two finished skate decks. I’ve loved producing these two, and I’m so pleased with how they’ve turned out.
They’ll be going up for auction soon to raise funds for Freshwater Skatepark — details to come.

Morning #run done — breakfast picked up en route! 🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚
Deck designs for Freshwater Skatepark upcoming auction led me down a side route — designing a typeface based on the form of a skateboard.
It didn’t make the final cut, but I wanted to finish it and have some fun with it.

Starting the weekend with a run around the quiet lanes of Newtown.
