A while back I was asked to contribute to a collection of photography for an archive run by Queenspark books. Or more specifically, their Brighton & Hove Photographic Collection.
In 1972 I was working at Cox’s Pill factory and thinking about photography. I’d just bought my first camera, a Russian made Zenit. I was keen to learn. One my co-workers at the company was a keen photographer, I persuaded him to teach me all he could about developing film and printing. My journey had begun. Out of work hours I either had my head in a photography book or was eagerly finding things to photograph. Music featured strongly in those days, my musical tastes were and still are quite eclectic. A bit like my catalogue of photography over the years. I photographed everything and anything, at least looking back through the archive, that seems to be the case. Much of it rubbish with hindsight, but occasionally a gem or two from an event or occasion shone out. At the time the image seemed fairly insignificant, but over time many of the pictures have become more and more significant helping build up a picture (sorry) of times past . So in many ways, my journey from place to place, job to job continues.
