So along came a spider while testing the 56mm Fujinon Aspherical lens.




This week in pix

This week before a very heavy schedule of photographic courses I thought I add some spice into the days - start with a 4:00 am wake up call to get my tush out on the street and get in some seeing before I get to the studio. This has me walking around Hamstead Heath and Central London at 5:30 am. So these images are from that time. On IG go to  @stuffcarlsees where its beginning to happen.


Back on Instagram

Four years ago I embarked on a year long Masters degree. I was researching the encroaching tsunami (trend) of latent photographic talent hiding out in the day jobs and schools around the globe being let loose on on a little app known as Instagram. I was predicting how this was going to shift seismically the future of commercial photography. Exhausted by the work and the results which I had discovered and was myself caught within I thought I’d take three weeks off from posting on it. That turned into three years already and so I return to @stuffcarlsees. Design @jorgesengers.
