The result of the following email conversation? OG Thursdays. (My middle name is Mathew (with one &#8216;T&#8217;) but I thought &#8220;OMG Thursdays&#8221; may have been easily confused with one of the millions of Perez Hilton-style gossip blogs).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is this all about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ill be submitting guest posts every Thursday on a plethora of subjects relating to lifestyle, documentary and of course street photography that I think you guys will enjoy reading. Photographers I have met, people I think you should know, projects I&#8217;m working on, experiences I&#8217;ve had, equipment I&#8217;ve used, you name it and I&#8217;ll endeavour to cover it one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m studying a BA (Bachelors) in Contemporary Photographic Practice at the University for the Creative Arts in South East Kent, UK, which &#8211; along with supplying me with vast spectrums of \u00c2\u00a0information, inspiration and experience &#8211; also gives me access to lots and lots of rather lovely gear! A vague list for your delectation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mamiya RZ67 Pro ii (Just about every lens for it too)<\/li>\n<li>Mamiya 7 ii + 80mm<\/li>\n<li>Fuji GW690<\/li>\n<li>Fuji GSW690<\/li>\n<li>Bronica SQ-B (Again, just about every lens)<\/li>\n<li>Canon 5D MKii (24 1.4, 35 1.4, 24-105, 50 1.4, 100 2.8, 70-200 2.8)<\/li>\n<li>Nikon FM2<\/li>\n<li>Wista 5&#215;4 (and an incomprehensible number of lenses)<\/li>\n<li>Horseman 5&#215;4 (same as above)<\/li>\n<li>Bron Color light packs, Pocket Wizards, etc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The idea is that you guys put in a request for the gear you want to see reviewed (Ill let Eric handle the Leica stuff..for now) and I&#8217;ll get the gear, buy some film and I&#8217;ll write up as comprehensive a review as I can.<\/p>\n<p>Im happy to answer any questions regarding my past work or current projects, take a look at www.olliegapperphotography.com www.flickr.com\/photos\/olliegapper and olliegapper.tumblr.com.<\/p>\n<p>Comment below for what gear you&#8217;d like to see reviewed or any topics you&#8217;d like to see me review\/cover.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Contact Me <\/strong>(please!)<\/h2>\n<p>Email me: olliegapper@me.com<\/p>\n<p>Tweet me: <a title=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/olliegapper\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/olliegapper\">@olliegapper<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>My work<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Check out my work on a feature on Eric&#8217;s Blog here: <a href=\"http:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2011\/09\/my-life-and-story-about-street-photography-by-ollie-gapper\/\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153My Life and Story about Street Photography\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by Ollie Gapper<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After seeing Eric becoming ever more inundated with his workshop work, videos, Leica work and all the associated travel I decided to get in touch and say &#8220;Hey, how about I help out on \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_ek_photo_artist_note":"","_ek_photo_thesis":"","_ek_photo_camera":"","_ek_photo_place":"","_ek_photo_human_moment":"","_ek_photo_sequence":"","_ek_photo_question":"","_ek_photo_canonical_claim":"","_ek_photo_ai_summary":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/1.jpg?fit=660%2C439&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
