Student Days

I recently dug up some old photos taken a while back during my student days in Leeds, England.
The whole process of setting the correct exposure with a separate light meter, processing the film, and printing the negatives, seems like another world compared to todays instant digital cameras!

Anyway, I decided to submit the images to the Yorkshire Evening Post, since perhaps some distant relative might recognize the woman in the photo. I was very grateful that they did indeed publish the images along with some editorial on my photography exploits of yesteryear. Alas, no one contacted me regarding the images, though I'm sure it made interesting reading for the folks in Yorkshire!

An Inspiring Story!




As well as photographing weddings and events, I always welcome editorial portrait assignments.
In this instance it was for the National Jurist, a magazine for law students.

To photograph Desmond was a pleasure ... easy going, a great smile, and well on his way to making his dreams become a reality!
After reading the article about his background, it certainly puts your own personal problems into perspective!

A lesson for us all in self determination and discipline ... a real winner!
