I love inst grams especially taken with such an awful camera phone as mine! They remind me of the pin hole cameras i made with the children that came to my art workshops many moons ago.Made from old tins and boxes the fun we used to have....my friend Irene Reddish taught me how to make them. The images had a quality of there own....like something made long ago,,,soft focus as if they had jumped into the present from the past!
she ran workshops for adults and used pin hole cameras of ton, it takes me back to the smell of the darkroom!!
When every thing was done by hand,,,developing the negatives, printing, and hand tinting......
brilliant times......last time i heard from Reddish shed sold her precious Lecia camera and stepped into the world of Photo shop
She sent me some of her images and true to form they were spectacular!
I cant seem to make that leap I'm hopeless with photo shop even though Ive took a few courses and my eldest son is a genius!!!
I still long for my Darkroom,,,the magic of watching the image appear before your eyes the excitement of it all!!!I'm so old fashioned and stuck in the past!!
