Lancs

 


Before were saved from the ravages of English life we lived in a smallish town in Lancs. The studio where artist Chris Cyprus produces his work was near this old railway line, now path that ran along the valley - along with a canal and river.

I rather liked living just there in that old mill town. The house we had was old with thick stone walls and stone slate roof. The hills round about were rather steep so here was a nice place for an evening stroll or car-free pedal.

At the time I was fascinated by really old cameras in cluding an old Brownie 2a which incidentally I still have. Loaded with modern film the camera is surprisingly good. I really don't know why i bothered with anything else.

There’s a lot to be said for old unfangled. Those older cameras have a way of rendering what they see in a simpler, more picture-like way. Very nice.

You get a good image from a pinhole camera...so a nice one from a Brownie is no surprise!
A big contrast, moving from a very hilly area to where you are..not that the island is completely flat
