Spicy Gossip – My best photo of 2025

By Tony Warren

This is a shot from a visit to the local Farmers’ Market and gives me the most satisfaction, just about. The atmosphere there is always very sociable, with numerous eating options as well as the produce on offer.

I captured one or two CB moments that morning but this one I kept going back to. The lady on the right has told her friend either the corniest of jokes or the most unbelievable bit of spicy gossip. A bit weak compositionally but nothing really distracting from the story.

Taken with a Canon 7 and 90mm Elmar on FP4+ processed in Rodinal 1:50.

There are still a few weeks to go though so you never know what might present itself.

About The Author

By Tony Warren
In my 60 or so years of serious involvement in photography I have seen the demise of the viewfinder, the rise of the SLR and the eclipse of them all with the meteoric development of the digital camera. Through it all, however, and above all else, the image is what it is all about so I now use film alongside digital. Whatever is the most appropriate or practical. My contributions will hopefully be useful for anyone interested in using film and also how a died-in-the-wool antique like me is continuing his life-long addiction in the digital age, using both platforms. The major benefit of an extended retirement is that I can spend most of my time nowadays with photography and writing about it.
