Richard Knaggs' photostream  

I've been deliberating whether to upload this shot for a couple of months now (as you can tell from the Christmas hat). There are many things wrong with this shot (though my beautiful wife more than makes up for these), the composition is wrong, the exposure is wrong, and most obviously there film has light damage around the edges. However there is something about all these flaws that make it interesting to me.

This was taken on my Nikon FE with Ilford HP5+ but the film got jammed half way through and I had to open the camera back to get it out and so lost a lot of shots.

Taken on Main Street in Haworth - home of the Bronte sisters. Luckily it wasn't a particularly cold night so kneeling on cold stone cobbles wasn't too uncomfortable though we did get some strange looks.

It's been a while since I lasted uploaded a pic but here is one taken recently when the boys were having a JellyBath (see here www.flickr.com/photos/richard_k/6305012285/). As for the processing my intention was to create a matching shot for this one of his twin brother (www.flickr.com/photos/richard_k/6165135343/).

Surveying his kingdom from the top of the slide. One from the archive.

Apart from the fact that it is not the original Cavern Club where The Beatles played many times. The original building was opposite this site and was demolished in the 1970s, a few years later they took a load of the original bricks and recreated The Cavern over the road. So it is authentic... sort of.
