- Kirk, Godalming College 1992
First pictures I took in black and white - and this was the first portrait I was proud of, and first pictures I developed myself, circa 91. Iford 'Safety Film' (!) FP4. Camera was a strange secondhand Russian or German camera with an odd square aperture which had problems focusing (I think the lens was coming away!). Negs are in a terrible state I've done what I can but it's like snow if you zoom in...I rewashed them which made a massive difference but bad handling before I had a clue, storage and dusty/scratchy enlargers and I think underdeveloping and/or crap in the developer haven't helped. You name it these negs have it: hairs, dust, odd watermarks, gunk on the negs that won't wash off, scratches, damaged emulsion, holes in the film (!) *sigh* First pictures I took in black and white - and this was the first portrait I was proud of, and first pictures I developed myself, circa 91.
