A long time ago, back in 2002, I was introduced to darkroom photography, and for better or worse I was hooked. Time continued forward and the digital revolution began to supersede the artistry found underneath the safe red light.
I have unfortunately neglected my old friend, but I have certainly not forgotten. Come September I will be back in the darkroom with renewed vigour. I want to explore all of the things that made photography interesting to me in the first place. So I have started to go back over the few terrible scans that I have of those early attempts and experiments. You can find the work on Flickr, I just thought I would share a couple with you guys on here to.
When I get back in the darkroom I will be using medium format and revisiting light drawing, photograms and scratching negatives! (Any purist photographers please forgive me! I will be scratching my negatives in a fine art capacity.)
Cheers guys!
