Who is this camera really for?
I remember the first time I got a Kodak Digital Camera, It was a Kodak EasyShare C300 3 Megapixels! As you can see in this blog post the image is washed out, very blurry and lacking depth or colour I am normally used to in a digital camera. Yes it’s nice you can keep a pocket camera on a key chain but it’s a matter of convinence. When I’m going out to take photos for me the logical sense is to bring my camera along, having one on a key chain is great for random moments but unfortauntely the camera falls flat on the image quality. It’s something I just can’t recommend as you can buy a film camera at the same price range and get better results or even pick up a cheap digital camera on Ebay and get a better result.

Portable Camera, Super cute, Great conversational item.
Affordablity (but again cheaper cameras with better quality are on the market)
Project Flower went live on the 21st November 2025, After a year of development travelling around the world to find the best flowers this project has been so much fun to put together and I can’t wait for people to go and explore Project Flower
Inspiration
The idea of the gallery initally kicked off in May 2025 when visiting castle gardens in the UK but during the trip to Japan in June 2025 Oliver visited Borderless Tokyo by the artist collective “TeamLabs” which combines art with human interaction so Oliver thought “How can I replicate at the very basic level art that people can interact with?” and this was the result:
The flower becomes a canvas that a visitor can interact with to create new art and the particles move around the cursor so that the visitor is guided to make their own decisions and given the freewill to change and alter the page to their configuration.
Leveraging great partners
I have been using Kunstmatrix for nearly 4 years now, Kunstmatrix is a virtual gallery platform. For this exhibition the main show is hosted using the virtual gallery platform.
Acompanying Playlist
When developing this exhibition for the first time in the development of my exhibitons I decided to share a Spotify playlist containing music that compliments the gallery.
Thank You
I would like to thank everyone who visits the gallery and those who interact with me on the social platforms, Without your input this project would not of got off the ground. I dedicate Project Flower to my late nan, Joy whom loved flowers and spent many years planting beautiful flowers in her Garden, without her kindness and love I would never of discovered how amazing flowers are.
Flowers not your thing? No Problem, Check out my other exhibitions.

Iceland 35mm Experimenting with 35mm Kodak Ultramax 400 film and a Kodak M38 point and shoot camera.
This concludes this year’s Icelandic photography gallery for a fourth year in a row here’s some additional iceland galleries from previous years.
As a Photographer Iceland ignites a special place in my heart and a place I have contiuned to visit over time. I encourage others to visit, explore and enjoy Iceland, I hope it captures your heart just as it has with mine.
It’s 2025, we have fantastic digital cameras with instant responses and yet for some of us in the photography community there is a calling back to a much more simple time of Analog photography in fact companies like Fujifilm have tried to captilize on the surge of interest by introducing the X Half.
I got my hands on the X Half during the 2025 Fujikina to see what it is capable of. As I said to the sales person there are some draw backs to the Half X for example it doesn’t have RAW functionality and your not able to edit film recipies like you can with the Ricoh . Yes the camera isn’t aimed at professional photographers and the unique selling point is the ability to lock down film mode filters but without being able to modify or make them your own from a photography perspective splashing out an extra £200-300 on a Ricoh might be the better option.
Anyway let’s get back on track, Analog Photography.
The Camera that arrived after the trip… oops!
Before going on the trip to Iceland I made a concious decision to grab my first Analog camera, I went with a company that had been advertising analog cameras on facebook (I won’t mention their name as I don’t wish to give them publicity for their abysal customer support) and sadly the camera arrived after I went to Iceland, The camera I had purchased contained packaging contained an image of the church I had planned to take an image of with the Analog camera which was a bit of a smack to the face when returning home.
So I ended up visiting Reykjavík Foto picking up a Kodak UltraMax film and Kodak M38. I have sent them in for processing at a local camera shop and once they are ready I’ll be posting them up to my gallery, I had only 24 compositions to work with and of those I know a few won’t be particularly fantastic but I enjoyed experimenting with a new camera that I only had a limited ability to work with so thinking about shots was super important, I couldn’t just take an image of everything I had to make sure whatever I was going to take would be perfect the first time round. These freedoms are now taken for granted with digital photography and ofcourse with Analog comes the cost of the film and the processing too but there is something special or even magical about picking up a roll of film, loading it into your own camera and then taking the photos and winding the film back at the end not knowing if it’s okay or you hit a snag. I’m now hooked on Analog 35mm photography and I can’t wait to see how it turns out on future journeys.
I have just completed my 4th trip to Iceland, The land of fire and Ice. During this trip I took an excursion to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula with EastWest. They was absolutely fantastic and the guide Mona talked to us non-stop and in between sandwidged fantastic local music, I have been on many excursions in Iceland but this trip was very special, the weather for once was really nice, in-fact it was even better than my previous trip in August 2024!
In September 2025 a new exicting collaboration has been formed with Kunstmatrix and Oliver Bryant Photography.
