I'm very interested to know what #Pentax17 owners think of their camera. My #OlympusMju2 has failed; I could get it repaired (failure appears mechanical rather than electronic) or buy another at ~£250 used, but I'd still have a potential brick. And though _very_ pocketable it has some very annoying features (that d**n flash, for example). Other compact film cameras similarly over priced. Could get a P17 for £489 including a 5 brick of Portra 400, my fave film! #FilmPhotography #BelieveinFilm

Not every festival photograph needs to be of the headline act.

Sometimes it’s the details in between that tell the story — the people, the colour, the quieter moments and the atmosphere that make it memorable.

These were all shot on 35mm film using a Pentax 17 loaded with Kodak UltraMax 400, and a Ricoh 500 G with CineStill 800T.

Each brought its own character to the festival, from warm summer afternoons to the glow of the evening lights.

Of course, this time I also took a bazillion pictures of Chori while looking after her. She cracks me up with her faces.

A few shots from last weekend’s trip to London, captured on the Pentax 17 Half-Frame and a roll of Lucky 100 Black & White I was given.

Street scenes. Architecture. The Underground. People-watching. And more.
