LETTER OF THE WEEK
I am an autistic film photographer, and began my journey during the 2020 lockdown. I started out with an Olympus Trip and I now own an Olympus OM-10 and a Soviet Zenith camera. I actually started out as a digital photographer professionally, many moons ago when I was 17.
My Instagram account is Analogvulture_Photography but I would like to share this photo that I recently took in Leicester city centre. The graffiti artist is called SMUG and he is an Australian now based in Glasgow. I used my Olympus OM-10 with 50mm lens, and Kodak T-Max 400 film. It was taken on Friday, 13 October.
You’ve won our star letter prize so obviously Friday 13th was an auspicious day for you after all. It’s great to hear that you are enjoying your photography, and as regular readers will know, we always like to hear from people who are finding that image-making helps them to cope with a range of physical and mental health challenges.
Win!

I was interested to read the recent letter from Andy Finn about the free filter on an old copy of AP. I too remember many great ‘freebies’ with the magazine, and I attach a photo of two lens pouches that I got many years ago. There was no choice of pouch, it was pretty much pot luck; some issues had the standard pouch attached to the cover, and some had the telephoto one. I was lucky to find two magazines on the shelf with one of each so bought both. I took the photo today and as you can see, I still use the pouches, and have some of my Fujifilm X-mount kit in them. Great magazine, by the way, and I am happy to be a subscriber.
