Helio Press 10th Anniversary
Megalo had an show opening last week to celebrate Helio Press’ tenth anniversary, with Helio Press: Ten Trips Around The Sun. Helio Press is a small Melbourne-based studio focus around Risograph printing. Risograph is a machine whose parents might be a photocopier and a screen printing table. Original work is scanned in, but instead of…

Weekend in Melbourne
I was invited some months ago to Nat’s birthday bash which happened a couple of weeks ago (as of writing this) in Melbourne. Nap’s been a friend for a long time, but nowadays, she live in Hobart. I took the opportunity to pick up a new lens and walk around town with it, while ticking…

March – Remainders
Another month nearly down. A busy month of Enlighten, a week of balloon launches (or aspirational launches), finishing a certificate course, gear testing, trying to see an eclipse and an aurora, an outdoor music event, annoying people with a flash and other things which mostly don’t add up to their own story in a sense.…

March – Balloon Spectacular
With the weather getting ever-so-slightly colder, balloon enthusiasts come out around the lakeside to attempt at a launch of balloons, some of a particular shape or size.

February – Roundup

It also had a test photoshoot on the rooftop pool of friends’ apartment block. I don’t get much chance to…

February – Melbourne
So I had a long weekend to take a short break from the tedium of my job, go to Melbourne and table at the Festival of the Photocopier. Going to FOTP has become an annual trip, where I’ve been tabling other people’s zines as part of Canberra Zine Emporium, along with my own. My friend…

February – Film
Recently I took a trip to Melbourne and shot through three rolls of film. I shot all three at 800 ISO, and also forgot to take the rolls out of my bag before they where scanning at the security gate (sigh). And I forgot to tell the developers that I had pushed the film, probably…

January
New Years floated right on by, with not much to say, but for the expectation that the shit of 2025 was done and to begin working on plans to make 2026 a year of taking a new direction. But needless horrors and greed abroad, shows low expectations. After helping out with a cosplay photoshoot, I…

More film shots
So since August (?) I’ve been taken shots on two cameras – a Voigtlander Bessa R4M and Horseman Convertible which I picked up in *checks notes* August… Both cameras work fairly well for me. The R4M is small, light and mechanical. It uses a battery only for the light meter. The Horseman is a compact-ish…
