On my last days in Phnom Penh, I took a time to wander in bar streets with my camera. People are so welcoming in Cambodia that I felt I could ask for portraits at the nightlife places. As usual I was welcomed by smilling and pleasant people. It was at the end of the afternoon just 3 hours before my plane back to Paris.
Scanning 35mm at home with my old Epson 4490. I got some just awful looking prints back and thought i could get something slightly better, even though the negatives weren't much to work with in the first place. Ta-da!
This is a scanned photo, for a change. I came across this one of me when I was around 6 years old (therefore around 1970). The lion I am holding was made by my clever Mum!
My Dad took this photo of me in hospital and I was actually there for two weeks in an isolated room, recovering from Stephen's Johnson Syndrome. Here's a description from the NHS website:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare but serious disorder that affects the skin, mucous membrane, genitals and eyes.
The mucous membrane is the soft layer of tissue that lines the digestive system from the mouth to the anus, as well as the genital tract (reproductive organs) and eyeballs.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is usually caused by an unpredictable adverse reaction to certain medications. It can also sometimes be caused by an infection.
The syndrome often begins with flu-like symptoms, followed by a red or purple rash that spreads and forms blisters. The affected skin eventually dies and peels off.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a medical emergency that requires treatment in hospital, often in intensive care or a burns unit.
Treatment aims to identify the underlying cause, control the symptoms and prevent complications.
It is believed I developed the Measle-like symptoms not long after I'd had the Measles vaccination, and at one stage I had double vision and the rash was inside my mouth. The doctor had been called to our home and he immediately said I had SJS, and said I needed to go to hospital. I remember having an awful cough when I was in hospital and a physio would regularly come round and thump me on my back to hopefully loosen it. I didn't like that at all! I made a full recovery and it was all forgotten about.
Strangely though, after the boys were born it was discovered I had asthma and chest x-rays revealed I had a condition called Bronchiectasis, and when I googled that, I found that Bronchiectasis often develops as a result of a childhood illness like Measles! I have coughed quite a lot throughout my life, despite never smoking, so I wonder if this is all connected.
We returned to Paris in 1979 and my Dad wanted to recreate a photo he'd taken in 1972 in the Montmartre area of Paris! I was around 14 here! Thank you to my Dad for passing on his love of the city to me!
Pink T-shirt and red-and-white checkered suspension shorts??
Hmmm, perhaps my parents knew something about me back then?? LOL
Back to my roots for these two pictures, probably the oldest I have scanned! I've just made a photobook for my sister as a Christmas present and have included these photos in it.
These are my grandparents on my Dad's side, John Hedges and Mabel Bellinger. It must be dated 1916, as they are holding my Dad as a baby, and that was the year he was born! Look how chubby my Dad was!! They were both born in Swindon and I believe John worked for the railways. He died the year before I was born, but I have very vague memories of visiting my grandma in a nursing home.
I believe this is from one of two childhood holidays to Combe Martin, Devon. The first time I went was in 1968, I believe, when I was coming up to 4 years old. One thing we loved about Combe Martin was the sandy beach and rock pools. You can see me being helped along the slippery path by my sister!

Holga 120 - Camera scanned.
This morning I tried to „camera scan“ the same film from the Holga. I have a cheap light table, probably not good for color, but S/W it's ok. I used the 7R3 and 100mm macro lens on a tripod. Everything pretty improvised. I made the negative inversion in LR also basic adjustments there. In PS I adjusted the tones even further. The film is not at all properly exposed, there are not a lot of controls for that. The sky areas have a strange pattern, the lab guy said this might be because of the old film -- I got this „somewhere" possibly it was stored in a hot place for a long time??
Anyway, Holga is meant to be imperfect and it delivers just that ;-)

2018年12月31日，一年的最后一天，我和伙伴们一起攀登了三清山。 一场大雪过后，我让自己静静地迎接2019年新年的到来。
On December 31, 2018, the last day of the year, my friends and I climbed Mount Sanqing. After a heavy snowfall, I allowed myself to quietly welcome the arrival of the 2019 New Year.
I've noticed I look a bit serious or even grumpy in some of my scanned photos, so this time I've uploaded one of me looking a bit more jolly (and mischievous, by the look of it!!). It was taken on my sister's birthday in 1976 in their first home, in Reading. They had been married nearly a year, at this stage and living in a maisonette. I was around 11, nearly 12.
Today we are hoping to meet up with my sister and her husband at my Mum's house.
