A Bridge Across Time: For Sebastião Salgado

In September 2024, I was passing through the Jubilee Market in Covent Garden when I found a ZEISS IKON NETTAR at a vintage camera stall. Nearly 90 years old, it sat between light meters and cracked lenses—quiet and unassuming.

Aquatic Stalk in Precious Spring: How Polar Bears Hunt In a Changing World

Aquatic stalking is a hunting technique used by polar bears to catch seals. Unlike the traditional method of waiting by breathing holes in the ice, aquatic stalking involves the bear swimming stealthily through open water or diving under ice to approach seals resting on the ice’s edge. Polar bears use their white fur as camouflage in snowy or icy environments, allowing them to blend in and get closer without being detected. When close enough, the bear launches a sudden, explosive attack, often breaking through the ice or lunging from the water to catch the seal. This method requires patience, strength, and precise timing, as seals are highly alert and quick to escape into the water.

Being a film photographer is an expensive hobby. Sure, it's easy to get started with the relatively low cost of hardware but film and developing costs (even if you're doing it yourself) add up fast. That's why Kentmere Pan 200 is so welcome: it's good, it's readily available, and it's cheap at $8 per roll.
