FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS HARDLY EVER TRAVELED OUTSIDE LONDON EXCET TO GO ABROAD IN THE LAST 80 YEARS. I THOUGHT IT TIME TO EXPLORE THE MIDLANDS WITH MY HELIOS 44M.
MY CONCEPTION OF THE NORTH WAS IN BLACK AND WHITE. FOG AND COAL MINES. TANYA TOOK ME TO HERMITS CAVE NEAR STAPLEFORD. I STARTED TO PHOTOGRAPH WITH THIS COUPLE I CAME ACROSS SITTING ON A BENCH I THOUGHT IF I PRODUCED IT IN BLACK AND WHITE I WOULD CAPTURE THE MOOD OF THE NORTH IN THE 60'S. IT DID NOT. MY CONCEPTION OF THE NORTH WAS ALL WRONG. JUST A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY VILLAGE WITH NOT A PIT OF FOG TO BE SEEN JUST BEAUTIFUL HOUSES AND ROSE BUSHES.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE THINKING IN COLOUR MAKES.
