Under the Lupe
Under the Lupe delves a little deeper, into specific photographs that have been important to me, over the years.

Pentax K1000
This photograph of mu painting was taken back in 1982 on my Pentax K1000. It was black and white film, most definitiely Ilford as that's what I favoured at the time. I loved Ilford's graphic design; minimalist with that bold International style font, black on white.
We were at Huddersfield, where we met at Poly (that's Huddersfield Polytechnic, before it became a university). We've never been apart since.
I love the light coming in through the big window, from the left and the grain and the rough nature of the edges of the print.
The jumper was a mohair, blue with red block arrows.
Photographs are so important for fixing the past. They store memories, or more importantly are triggers to stored memories...
The Glade
The Glade - waiting for a set to start.
Nikon Df
This photograph of mu was taken at one of the Glastonbury Festivals. The stage was The Glade and it was either the first time of one of the first times we had gone to the festival. It rained but it couldn't dampen the spirit of Glastonbury.
