I took most of these pictures at Ethie Woods near Arbroath in Angus Scotland in 2001. Some were taken in our home in Arbroath. The camera was a Russian ‘Horizont’. this was a panoramic camera that used a swinging 28mm lens on 35mm film. The images were interesting but not really sharp. This was partly because the 28mm lens was not that sharp anyway, but also because the film had to be held in a curve so that it registered with the focal plane of the rotating lens. This was somewhat beyond the Russian technology of the day and since the lens could not be stopped down to reduce the consequences of this, the images suffered.
I sold the camera after a short while, but looking back, the somewhat soft-focus effect was really attractive in its own right.
Hi I hate having to do this but needs must. We are doing much better than before but we are still short on a monthly basis, of about 200gbp. Right now we do not have enough to feed Yoda, or the others. Sam has forbidden me to discuss her health issues but you can take it that these are not getting better. I am continuing to produce material, as promised but I need to feed Yoda (as well as Sam!) So please make a small contribution .
I’m effing hungry. FEED ME!
How to Feed Yoda
You can feed Yoda by making a contribution through
I don’t like having to ask for money like this but do need to support Sam, as well as feed Yoda. I believe that what I do has value and the videos and articles I have produced are worthy of your support. If thirty of you put your hands in your pockets for a few quid/dollars then we would not have a problem.
I give my deepest thanks to those who have helped already and those who continues to do so. It pains me to have to ask you to help again, but these are extraordinary circumstances, so, please.
Some people have said they don’t like me asking for money. Well if you’re enjoying the material, you should contribute. If it’s all right for a millionaire like Jimmy Wales to ask for money – alongside thousands of others – it must be okay for us to do so and trust me, we need it more than most.
