Ageing hacker, long time documentary photographer. Black Hat Review board. Now sitting on numerous government cyber security boards so I guess that means I’ve grown up right?

I had one of these originally in the 90s, and it was my first adventure in digital. I thought what a fitting piece of equipment to document 90s & early 2000s hackers that I know and call friends.

All whilst storing them on media we once loved and used

Alongside the other cameras I'm taking, I have long been trying to document the hacker history that is slowly fading into the annals of time.

I recently picked up a sealed never been used before Sony Mavica MVC-FD5 and got some stiffy disks too.

It does, however, means some quick mental arithmetic given the filter blocks all visible light below 720 nano meters and the MP meter is through the lens (TTL), need to factor in about 5 stops difference.

I’ve also got some ISO 25 b&w along with some other coloured filters

Annual pilgrimage to vegas begins and with that is the yearly “what camera and stock shall I take for the desert?”

This year I will be tinkering with infrared, and I think shooting red rock Canyon/Valley of Fire with this emulsion should be pretty damn impressive.

I wish it was like that. I think you gained so much skill and the bugging capability back in those days. It has kind of been lost today.

When you have 42 kids having a LAN party at your house, and you are told that if the Ping isn’t low, there will be problems. This is gonna push my networking skills to the extreme I feel.

I do love @cloudflare, they are brilliant but it's also hard when so many criminal sites make use of their security and tech to help mask and deliver malicious sites.
