Black and White Photography magazine!

It's still just about August so I suppose I can legitimately talk about the inclusion of my work in this months (August) edition of Black and White Photography magazine. I was asked a while back to supply images to support an article on the Pinhole Blender 120 made by Chris Peregoy. I have been using the blender, both the large and small versions for some time and Chris had seen some of my work via Flickr and I'm grateful that he considered it of sufficient standard to be used to represent the camera.
The images I sent in were amongst the earlier ones I have taken with the 120. The larger 120 format has three pinholes situated around the cylinder and it was with a combination of these that I made the images. The softness that you get from the curved film plane means that the blending is subtle and the images can be quite abstract if you so wish. Employing unusual juxtapositions within one image. I had made a number of images in the series that these were taken from and they were based around a local nature reserve. The used image is called Dandelion.
