Re: What Made You Pick Up A Camera
Hi there I'm new to Pixalo, great forums, I remember my first days of Photography, I was given a Nikormat EL f1.4 lens, In 1977, Previous to that I used an old Pratika, I remember photographing My niece who was two years old, she was sat on the door step with two pints of Milk between her legs, not much smaller than her, I then bought the chemicals and darkened out the bathroom, and developed my own negs, black and white, Photography was very exspensive then, what a magical moment it was when I made my first print, cost me a small fortune in paper and chemicals and all the bits that went with it. I used to take my film to a local lab, and my prints never came out how I would expect them to, It was only later on and lots of money wasted, that I found out it was the lab that was at fault, exhausted chemicals. I think Photography prob grew from seeing my fathers images from India, Egypt, etc, Old war pics that I still have, The second the button is pressed History Is in the makeing. Its magical.
