These are a few of my favourite things, in no particular order. Morning bike rides. Eating al Italiano with the beautiful redhead. Being at the Le Mans 24 hours with the boys. Italian cars and motorcycles, especially Alfa Romeo and Ducati. The click of a shutter, "letting the light sweep in". Manual, mechanical cameras: Leica, Hasselblad, Rolleiflex. Wide-angle lenses: Biogon, Distagon, Super-Angulon. Durst Modular 70 enlarger, with 50mm Leitz Focotar and 80mm Schneider Componon lenses. Ilford HP5+ film developed in Rodinal with 50gm/litre of sodium sulphite. Ilford Multigrade RC and FB paper. Being in the darkroom, it's so peaceful. Photos by Cartier-Bresson, Salgado, David Vestal, Jean-Loup Sieff, Giorgia Fiorio, Larry Siegel and very many others. Juan Manuel Fangio, five times World Champion, 24 Grand Prix victories from 51 starts, the greatest Formula One driver of all. Guild acoustic guitars. "Hand built by Guild in an otherwise imperfect world." Starfires and Stratocasters. Latin jazz. Brazilian supergroup Azymuth. Marie-Laure de Decker Cities, especially London, Paris and Antwerp. Gibraltar. Driving on uncrowded roads in France. Not being in any particular hurry. Object-oriented programming languages. Dancing Salsa
