A 5x4 negative of an old college friend, Sam Wernham.
From 1992 to 1994 I gave up my full time job and studied photography at the Berkshire College of Art and Design in Reading. (If anyone knows Reading it used to be on the King's Road, behind the Science college.) Unfortunately I have lost touch with every one of the friends I made during those two years, a fact that I regret immensely.
My recent trip to England was made so we could get our home there ready for some building work. During the tidy up and clear out I found a huge box of photographic materials that dated from my time at college.
This is a picture of one of the many 5x4 negatives that I took and self processed in those two years. It comes from a project we were given to take a series of images in the style of a famous photographer. I chose Richard Avedon, and his 'In The American West' images as my inspiration. The set up was the same as his, a white sheet hung from a simple frame and placed in a way that no direct light would fall on the subject.
I am hugely proud of the images I took for the project, and this image is amongst my favourites. Digital is great for its immediacy, but there is nothing that can touch the detail produced by a negative this size. Apart from a bigger negative that is!
Where are you Sam?

Thomas James Rodoni was born in 1882 at Hotham East, Victoria, to Swiss and Irish parents. While living in Sydney in August 1914 as a man of 31, Rodoni joined the first Australian Imperial Force that would engage in the Great War: the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force.
A week after enlisting, Rodoni’s company embarked on the HMAS Berrima and sailed to German New Guinea among a fleet with orders to seize two wireless stations and to disable the German colonies there.
Rodoni’s unofficial photographs – many of them “candid” shots, captured in the moment – are a rare glimpse of this pivotal moment in Australia’s history. He has documented the energetic atmosphere of prewar Sydney and its surrounds, from civilian and military marches to battleships docked in Sydney Harbour, with accompanying crowds of people brought together for these special events. His camera voyaged with him on the expedition to the Pacific region, taking images both from the ship’s deck and then again on dry land after disembarking.
Rodoni was stationed in New Guinea for five months with the AN&MEF after the successful capture of territory from the German forces. His striking images are testament to his ease with the camera, and the ease of his fellow servicemen around this avid amateur photographer. He used his camera to record daily events and significant moments in the expedition, and made several group portraits of the officers and soldiers in his company. Yet his images also suggest a genuine curiosity for the foreign people and places where he was stationed, and a love of the photographic medium in which he practiced during this early period of the war.
After leaving New Guinea with the AN&MEF and returning home to Australia in January 1915, Rodoni left the force to work in a Small Arms Factory manufacturing munitions for the war. He soon married and settled in Newcastle with his wife, Catherine Annie Wilson, and had four children: Thomas, Mary, Jim and William (Bill).
The wider collection of glass plate negatives – over 600 in total and with many views of Newcastle and its surrounds is an incredible legacy to Thomas Rodoni and his family.
Rodoni died in 1956 as a result of a car accident in Waratah, Newcastle.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).

Negatives #3 & #4, shot about 8 frames today with the Shen Hao.
At the moment I am tray developing Arista EDU 100 shot at 50 iso in D-76 1:1 for 9 minutes with agitation on every minute. My first negative came out nice and these ones looked pretty good when I first hung them to dry. Will be interested to see if I was able to attain consistent results with the tray developing.

I got these two negatives through an auction a while ago, and just got around to scanning them. All i know is that they are from the 60's, no other information was given. It's pretty cool to see these, although they do have some damage on the left hand side.

Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850.
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.
