About Me

My photo
Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I am a father of two, who has been a paramedic for 15 years and a professional photographer for around 5. That is until recently, from the 1st of May 2017 I will no longer work on the frontline full time. Instead I have made the transition from specialist paramedic to advanced practitioner and will be working full time in primary care. This blog will chart the development of myself from my current role of specialist paramedic to an advanced practitioner. In the last year I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative condition which affects the spine. While this diagnosis saddened me obviously. It also came as a relief as I had struggled for over a year and had no idea what was wrong with me. So the diagnosis also came with some relief as I finally had a name to put to my condition. It did help me to look forward and consider a new career pathway. I am the first paramedic to work in primary care in my practice area. This is quite an accolade.

Film problems

I took the Hassleblad camera out the other dayto try to attempt my landscape work,

It prove to be a challenge, but one which I enjoyed. I anticipated making mistakes and enjoying using ther camera, so I bought extra film just in case. I was right on both counts.

Turned out I had loaded a film the wrong way round, frustrating but not the end of the world. I intend to go out again and re- shoot the bits of work I have lost. Sadly though I shared a roll of film with Alison so I messed it up for her too. Oops.

On the plus side I felt that I really got to grips witht hte camera very quickly and intend to print my negatives out. It's quite exciting really waiting for the film to be processed. I have absolutely no doubt that I will embrace both this and large format cameras again in the future, I can see lots of potential.
