My deeply paranoid short story SEEING IN THE DARK appeared in the STORY CITIES anthology in 2019. You can read it here. Or, even better, buy the book.

Currently I'm also writing articles for the professional moving image website RedShark News (about cameras and stuff with a slight philosophical edge).

Here's a selection:

The Evolution of The Documentary Camera (what went wrong?)

The Death Of The Zoom (a defence of the zoom lens)

Deep Focus (what's so good about shallow depth-of-field?)

Yearning for The Film Look (why does it still seem important?)

Online and Free (how not to make money from a film)

The Coen Brothers and The Joy Of The Reverse Angle

A Movie In One Shot

Can We Trust Our Own Ears? (the subjectivity of audio)

Forgotten Technologies: The Optigan

Forgotten Technologies: The Mellotron

Forgotten Technologies: Polavision
