#28 PROJECT: Svein Olav Humberset

2020-05-01

Our guest this week thoroughly enjoyed the words of wisdom that Borut shared with us on our last show (as did many others), not worrying when it doesn’t go to plan, if the shots don’t work out.

Grab some tissues and watch.

Simon gave a shout out to former guest on the show Kate Miller-Wilson. Kate has moved on from electrocuting herself in the quest for inner realisation and is now making some lovely wet plate images and sharing her journey in IG.

Other News

The inaugural LFPP Gathering in the forest 2020 has been cancelled. Lets see how COVID pans out over the summer but my guess this will now be moved to Spring 2021.

And….

Much to Simon’s dismay the Six Towns Darkroom is in lock down for the time being.

Also Simon is selling radio-active hard to find lens caps to amuse you in these dark days.
