Cracking 'old shot' of the house there, Chas ! .... great to keep bits of history like that, thats excellent !
Just how high up that tree were you ? looks 'scarily high' !!!
I really got 'into' the B&W thing in my early 20's ... managed to 'inveegle' my pal into it at the time, and he eventually became a lecturer in it at Napier College in Edinburgh, having started life off as a dyslexic HGV mechanic ! ( nothing like a radical career change ! ) ....
and, as perhaps a sign of the times.. he now doesn't lecture at all
... and tells me ( although I don't see him very often since we moved up to where we are now ), .. that the majority of his knowledge was in processing / printing, and of course, there is just no call for it anymore.
Like you say.. I too love my little digital camera... so easy to use and then transfer to CD's or the laptop .. but something I do miss, and I suppose we
'could' do it, but for some reason just
'don't', is looking through photo-albums and also at slides. Its sort of 'died off' as a thing people do with the coming of the digital stuff. Seems a shame in a way.. I used to like filling up and looking at albums.
It was almost like a 'family event' every few months or so to dig them out and put the 'new stuff' in - and look back on the existing pics.
I suppose it could still be done, but like many people I suppose, we don't do it. -- Perhaps we should make the effort and get prints made. !
Super 'old' photo that one... lovely to see :lol:
