Halide Photographs

Fourteen years of looking at things

Every frame here still carries what the camera recorded when the shutter opened. You can browse the work by the lens it was made with.

All the work, by lens and by camera

What it was taken with

Counted from the files, not from memory. Of 14 frames, 43% were made in the normal, 35 to 70mm — which is a fact about the work rather than a claim about it.

Where a figure is missing it is because the file does not carry it. Nothing here is estimated, and a frame with no EXIF is simply not counted rather than guessed at.

About the grain

The texture on this page is not an overlay. It is silver halide crystals, generated on the GPU, and their size is set by the median ISO of the photographs actually on screen — so a page of night work is coarser than a page of studio work, for the same reason a roll of 3200 is coarser than a roll of 100.

On the first screen it runs at full strength on a dark sheet, which is where an emulsion is visible. Everywhere else it is held down to a fifth of that, because body text sits on it and a texture that competes with reading is not a texture, it is a fault.
