old school film photography

These 35mm black and white photos were taken a long time ago when I was taking a photography class. They are film photographs, developed and printed by me in the darkroom. Many of these photos were already matted, so some light peeked through while scanning, making them look a little blurry.

  11. I love B/W photos and at one stage (I mean when I was a lot younger, hahaha), I learn photography (the 35mm one) which included developing my own B/W prints. I wonder if I still remember how to do it?!! Anyway, I enjoyed your pix, especially the old couple and the two pairs of feet. I kept staring at the man's sock. :) Thank you for sharing.

  13. I am a great fan of B&W and sepia, so I was particularly drawn to those shots in this blog. I never thought of doing something like your interesting combination of photos showing the couple. That gives me some ideas!
