David Poblador i Garcia:

Which is to say, after two decades and forty-four meters of build tools and bundlers and hydration schemes, the industry sprinted in a giant circle and arrived, slightly out of breath, back at something that looks an awful lot like the file you uploaded over FTP. The instinct didn’t expire. The ground moved, for real reasons, and then it moved back.

A journey in and out of the heart of darkness.

Walking these black and white streets in Autumn.

My enthusiasm for taking photos hasn’t abated since the workshop I attended in March.

I spent last weekend shooting in Fremantle on a Leica Akademie workshop with Jesse Marlow.

Jesse was a fantastic coach and guide.

I had a wicked time and managed to get a few keepers to boot.
