Where do I start? I can remember taking photos with a Box Brownie type camera with its 120 film. I used to love watching the film numbers passing by the red window as you wound it on. Trying to centre people in the viewfinder by having to move it the wrong way was always a [...]
Everyday we are surrounded by breathtaking images, may they be landscapes, people, objects or situations. What photography has allowed me to do however is to capture those images and memories and to share them with others. I’ve always had a keen interest in photography and is the subject of my earliest memory. Crawling around the [...]
Like most photographers I can remember having a camera in my hand as a young kid. What kind? Who knows. I don’t remember specifics. I just know I have the evidence to back up my statement (or the proof is in the photos). I do think that I must have inherited the photo taking gene [...]
Hi, I’ve always been keen on photography since a young age when I was in scouts travelling the world with 35mm disposable cameras if only I could go back and re-visit some of the places I’ve seen with my DSLR now, maybe some day. My first digital camera was a 1.3 pixel samsung point and [...]
Hello there. A brief history; My old man had a camera or two, and knew a thing or three about them. I guess I picked up on that at some stage. When I was 15, I happened upon a fantastic wee 1.3 megapixel camera in the airport coming back from Amsterdam. A few years and [...]
I am a relative newbie to photography. I have always had an interest, took a module in 4th year in school. We used pentax cameras, black and white film and developed and printed our own shots and our teacher Mr. Camier was passionate about the subject, this drew me in totally, but I never got [...]
I’ve been taking pictures since I was a child. My first two cameras used 110mm film in a little case and when I went to college I bought my first (third or fourth hand) film SLR. My Dad was a keen photographer and we used to process black and white film in my brothers bedroom [...]
I’ve been in to photography on and off since forever but it’s only been in the last 12 months that I’ve picked up a camera again with any seriousness since the film days. Previously, photography was a very solitary affair for me – the only the other person I knew who was in to photography [...]
So here’s a brief enough history of photography and I. I have always enjoyed taking photos, as a child I enjoyed playing with my parents camera and as I grew up I ended up buying my own. Suppose my first real camera was a little Canon Ixus v2, I love this 2.1 megapixel beast. And [...]
Photography is not an inherently social activity: It doesn’t require other players like football, or an opponent to compete against. When I think about photographers, I think of the lonely early-morning treks to catch the sunrise, the solitude of waiting in a hide for a hare, or standing in a field at midnight shooting star [...]
