Labs...

Today with my university I visited two printing labs, one digital - The Prints Space and one analogue -  Labyrinth Photographic. It was actually very interesting to see how printing is done in a more professional environment to what I am currently used to. Some of the printing quality was gorgeous and really enhanced the images. It was helpful to visualise how you could have them printed physically and displayed professionally compared with what I am used to, on my home printer or in Jessops. The Print Space very kindly gave us each a free print. As always I left it till the last minute to decide so just went along with what was on my memory stick, and this is the image I got printed:


This image was take on black and white film using my Pentax camera. It was a portrait of a piece to display people in the environment that I feel represents them. This is a scanning of the negative which you can see although I tried to take care of it, is not in the best condition. Coincidentally I think this fits the image content perfectly

Time

These pictures again were taken a long long time ago... I'll take a guess at 4 years. They were taken for a project from my first college (which I dropped out of). This project title was 'Time'. These pictures were just a couple from the entire selection which showed the development of generations through time. The entire piece wasn't all too great but I really liked these two individually. They were captured on black and white film using my Pentax SLR. The original prints were a lot clearer than the examples below as they're negative scans a few years later but, I kind of feel the graininess works well with the style.
