Updated Nov 2019.
My name is Nigel and I have been photographing things I see for something like 35 years; just as an Amateur. I regard myself as an opportunist not really tied to common genres such as street or portrait. I moved from the UK to live in LA in 2015 and have started a family here.
Ultimately this blog is mostly about sharing my experiences with cameras I own and for sharing images from trips and photo walks. I like to use both film and digital and have access to most formats.
2019 was mostly about shooting film using the stock of rolls accumulated many of which are expired.

As a fellow expat blogger with a love for great photos, I can see where we might have a lot of things in common. You have some great pictures on your site. I look forward to exploring more of your work 🙂

I’m an Expatriate, too, or an Immigrant or a Global Citizen or whatever you want to call me and I totally love your tagline! “Unorganised comments about life, gin, artichoke dips, cycling and photography.” I was awarded for the “Liebster Award” and I’d like to nominate your blog. If you don’t want to accept, let me know. I won’t publish my “award post” before a couple of days anyway.

Thanks glad you like my confused mind 🙂 This will be my third nomination; I don’t mind if you want to nominate me it’s a fun and interesting experience to answer some random questions. The difficult part is finding enough blogs to nominate 🙂

Ha! It sounds you have “award experience”. It’s my first one and I’m pretty excited about it, since the nomination came from a great blog. But you’re absolutely right, it IS quite challenging to find blogs I want to nominate.

Actually they both came at the same time so I cheated slightly and did a combined response 😉

Hello, just enjoyed reading your review of the Vitomatic on 35MMC, but in the review have your site down as carrotroom. com and the link refused to bring me here, so you might want to edit that review to show your site as carrotroom.wordpress.com to allow folks to get over here from that site to peruse your blogsite. Looking forward to having a better look at your sire later today. Regards…Paul. (from Northumberland).

I’m glad you enjoyed the article, your comment was the first I knew that Hamish had published it 🙂
Carrotroom.com should take you to my landing page where you can jump here or Instagram etc. Is that not what you experienced?
