photo/video


                                     

 

Some images.   Just a small selection from photos I have taken over the years.   iPhone, Sony Alpha and a Fuji S9500 reflex.

Some videos with an old camera...

...and posted on YouTube and made a few years ago (well, more than a few) - odd tacky things made on dv tape format.

       


When I was in my mid-teens my father gave me an Admira f8 film camera.  I suppose he thought I would use it to capture important family moments.  Me, being me, discovered it had a stop motion function which was a lot more fun.  Odd things were made.   Problem was the cost of buying film stock.  Four minute's worth of developed Kodak 8mm required an outlay of about £4 (that's about €110 today) which limited my aspirations.  And somewhere along the way, growing up, girl friends, having to make a living, marriage, and so on, all that somehow, was lost.  Films were put away in a wardrobe and forgotten.

But, by chance, I found most of them in a box at my parents' house.  My brother had some as well - must have been in another box.  Even better, I picked up an old Eumig E8 projector in the local Y-Men's second-hand market.  It works, and I've relived a bit of history...
