These days almost everyone has a camera on a phone, and our lives can easily be recorded in images for posterity.
This wasn’t always the case. It wasn’t long ago that the majority of families did not own a camera of any description.
Luckily ours did, and Dad was quite a keen photographer. He even developed some of his own photographs in a home made darkroom.
We were also lucky to own a cine camera, and so our childhood was documented.
Even so, neither camera nor cine camera were on hand at all times, so having a photo taken was a novelty, and watching back our cine films, was a particularly special event. A white sheet was hung on the wall, lights switched off, while Dad sorted out the 3 minute films onto the projector.
No sound of course except the whirring of the projector.
We have added 2 new video links onto the Photos and Videos page, ( through YouTube).
