“Film vs Digital. Who cares really? I like both and I shoot with both. Having said that, all of my street photos are shot on film. And there’s a couple of reasons for this. I like the look of film, and, the type of camera that, (I feel) works well for street shooting. Personally I prefer a “Rangefinder” or a small discreet, point and shoot type of camera. But that’s me and I don’t know shit. But I find these cameras are almost invisible, and don’t spook potential subjects. In fact, most times aren’t even noticed till your walking away, shot taken. But film cost’s, coupled with low success rates can be quite disheartening, all though winning shots more than make up for it.” Photo & Words – Drum

Out of all the places in the world that we could get lost, Tokyo is probably up there with the worst. A japanese man squeezed into the last remaining gap on the train only to come face to face with two frazzled, tired, and completely bewildered westerners. With a slight smile, and in broken english, the MAN asked us where we were going and thankfully offered to show us the way. He took us ALL the way to the other side of tokyo, a 40 minute train ride from where we first met this man. he walked us out onto the platform, said goodbye, bought himself another return train ticket and left with a smile. there is so much to be learnt from such... “Unless I had a large rack, This wouldn’t happen in a western society.”

Snowboarding in Japan is amazing, nothing compares to it. There’s something magical there and when the afternoon sun pierces the forest you’re riding through you really feel it. For an entire day it can litter with snow and by the afternoon, open up and spew sunshine, meanwhile there are no other humans for miles. LIVE.FEEL.CONES Photo: Michael Dempsey (IPHONE)

HARRY REID SADLER

More than just photographs, Harry captures moments perfectly and pulls the viewer into his images. Shooting on 35mm point and shoots, he brings out the most in any film with some amazing gradients and expressions. We enjoy his work.

when i was 17 a mate introduced me to jake. Since then he’s always been a cool dude and an excellent lens man. Not only does he shoot bodyboarding well, he has a great eye for landscape and lifestyle photography.
