"I'm not very particular about equipment: I use Olympus OM1s and have about a
dozen, all purchased secondhand more than 40 years ago, and while I have many
lenses, I really only use either an 85mm or 50mm one now. In the same way, I'm
not all that particular about film or paper.... Rather than use a light meter,
I have a setting I like - 1/60sec at f/2.8 - and usually make the picture work
around this... I think I timed it perfectly, really: at the Guildford School of
Art I learnt how to prepare glass-plate negatives. Now, film is almost
obsolete. I could no more contemplate using a digital camera than travel to the
moon."
