Geometry, Light & Shadow

In our digital world of 'instant everything', which is mostly mass produced, Paul Cooklin is drawn to analogue film and traditional darkroom printing. His preference for film over digital derives from the nostalgic and timeless 'look' of black and white film, with it's tonal qualities and grain. He is also drawn to the rules of the negative and the traditional printing methods which he finds more rewarding due to the hands-on approach needed to make an individual silver gelatin print.

Chinon Ce-4, Ilford FP4, 135

I found my old Chinon in the car glove compartment which had some old film in it...I was surprised to see, amongst other shots, some images of my kids when they were much younger. This dates the film to about a year ago - left in the hot (and cold) glove compartment. This is one of the other shots on the roll.
