Baby Bailey, in the studio today for his Baby of the Month photo shoot. This image captured on traditional film, using the Nikon F100, f/5.6 @ 1/125th sec, on Ilford professional film, ISO100. Developed in Fotospeed FD10 for 7 mins.
Film rules OK!
I visited Carrickfergus on Saturday, 10th October, on a grey overcast, but warm morning, to wander around the castle with my Nikon F/100 camera and a roll of Ilford Delta ISO100 film.
The town was very quiet for a Saturday morning – I wonder is it like this all the time? There were very few people about. The seas were calm, and the harbour quiet. Here’s few monochrome images from the day (and a couple of colour intruders)…
Photography should never just be a profession or occupation. It should be a passion – for when the photographer loses the passion for image-making, just for the sheer joy of making an image, it is time to put the camera on eBay.
There is great satisfaction in going to a town or village or landmark or area, and just making images for no other reason than to make images! When I indulge my passion for photography, I like to use film, to shoot with my Nikon F100, and to shoot in Black and White. I like to develop those images in chemicals myself, at home, at the kitchen sink, using methods I learned many years ago.
Last week, I took a walk through Comber, our nearest town, just 5 minutes from Ballygowan, and shot a couple of rolls of film. Continue reading #Comber, Co.Down

Driving in the lovely Autumn sunshine today, near Purdysburn, outside Belfast, I came across this old, isolated gatepost, just begging to be photographed! Observe the texture in the old post, and the background and foreground interest in the image, giving it a sense of depth and distance.
Today I had the privilege of attending the funeral of Pastor Israel Ojo in the Covenant of Love Church in Belfast, and photographing the event for his loved ones, – a lasting tribute, and memorial. Pastor Ojo has many friends and relations abroad, and the on-line gallery can be accessed from all over the world, so that they will see around 200 images made through the day, all over the world.
Many thanks to Pastor Ojo’s family, for allowing me to share in their day, and for commissioning me for this event, to Pastor Kevin Sambrooke for his patience and for permission to make images throughout the service, and to James Brown and Son, whose staff were very helpful and friendly.
It’s being able to share in people’s lives like this that makes professional photography a very special vocation indeed.
A ‘modern classic’ is quite correct. The F100 is a beautiful camera in every respect. If you are really interested in photography, get an F100 while you still can, and shoot film. It’ll be a big step up from digital, you’ll enjoy it and learn much more about exposure values, and more importantly – how to MAKE an image rather than ‘take’ a picture.
These are my thoughts about the Nikon F100. I’m not claiming to be a “camera gurú” or any kind of expert. And certainly I won’t talk about “specifications” (you can find them all over the web).
I just love photography as hobby and as an expression. 
After months and months of having this Nikon model running around my head, I came across with a beautiful “almost new condition” F100 on Ebay. For just $125, it was no brainer!

Even when the F100 is wider camera in size, its fairly slimmer than the digital D7000.
My Iphone’s photo doesn’t make justice to the F100’s big and bright 96% coverage viewfinder. One of the nicer…

It’s that time again – a skinny decaf flat white, with my special added secret ingredient. Made of course, in time honoured fashion using Illy freshly ground Beans and the Gaggia espresso machine.
Coffee heaven!
On Friday 12th September 2015, between appointments, I took a stroll through Alexandra Park, in north Belfast. It was a poignant, nostalgic break in an otherwise mundane day, for I hadn’t gone to this park to exercise my legs, but to exercise my memory. My grandparents, Bob and Jeannie Kirk had lived in this park, in the gardener’s house, in the late 1950’s and early 60’s. Bob Kirk had been the foreman gardener at Glenbank Park in Ligoneil (where I was born) and his move to Alexandra Park as forman gardener would have been seen as a promotion. He took up residence in the Park Lodge, and remained there until retirement in 1965. While they lived there, I spent many happy days and evenings with them, travelling over by bus, down the Falls Road, and catching the No.77 Belfast Corporation Bus, (That famous bus route that wound through the streets of Belfast from the Gasworks to the Waterworks) alighting at the Waterworks.
