A little retrospective in 35mm film and good old slides and black and white film developing and dark rooms and chemicals and all the fun analogue photography is.

And yes, mistakes there were. Like the grain on the photo above which was a "lucky" mistake while processing the film. It was lucky mainly because I managed to save the whole film.

But the thrill of not immediately knowing the result of your work, of crafting a photo from conceptualising it and seeing it through the development and printing is priceless.

Analogue photography, my old love, I do hope that I can one day return to you.

No - he does it for money! One of his friends has a camera / photo / art supplies shop and Adam has a particular skill with developing old black & white films so he gets called in to do it. Also does s bit of canvas stretching when they’re really busy at Christmas! https://www.cranbrookphoto.com/
