Monday. Post day and not a thing to wear publish. That’s not altogether true, but most of the other Susans are toiling away making a crust or two, while I’ve just got back from a (friend’s birthday) weekend in Jozi (Johannesburg). The least I can do then is to pick up the […]

I told Paul that I don’t do hills. It’s not that I can’t, but ageing knees, a paucity of breath and ten or fifteen kilos of photo kit just don’t do it for me any more. That seemed eminently sensible until Sunday morning, when Paul (Bruins) our flamingo-legged guide led us […]

Hello! I’m Adam and this is my first article on this site. If you’d like to know a little more about me, then you can read this interview that DearSusan conducted with me by clicking here. For 2017 I set myself the challenge of street portraits. I’d been shooting street for a while, but […]

23 March. Home. To recap; a few days in Singapore – our favourite city in the world – followed by a quick trip up to George Town (Penang), to remind ourselves how much we enjoy being there, too. In part 1, the X-Pro2 was brand new and the post was […]

It’s 16 March and the frame counter now stands at 91. That’s less than a hundred images from which I can say the X-Pro2 is definitely a keeper. It’s been hard to find an X-Pro. The international roll-out was delayed and Fuji hasn’t got around to a launch in South Africa yet, which is […]

Perhaps I should have consulted a tea leaf reader when compiling this post; according to the rumour mill, Fuji’s X-Pro2 is due in about a month – around 15th January to be precise. But that’s all speculation. There is some evidence that the -2 is imminent though, including the EXIF data lifted from some […]
