Hi Everyone

Thanks to all who have joined the group. Apologies for taking so long to say hello, but for some reason I couldn't get in and so was unable to post!
I am hoping that this group will be a dynamic and interesting place to discuss and enjoy the photographic arts. I called it that rather than 'photography' because I really do feel that it is an art! The origin of the word photography (Phos) (graphis) means to draw with light, and that seems to me to embody it perfectly.
I am a photographer and lecturer in photography. I am very interested in alternative processes and like working with cyanotypes etc. and am always exploring ways of working with images. I use anything from a pinhole camera to a whole plate Deardorff, digital, film and even paper negatives.
Hope that we can have some good discussions here and look forward to meeting my fellow photographic artists soon!
Kitty

Dear Kitty I have just found your group - I am new here and trying to understand how everything works. but I would like to invite you and all your members, to have a look at my rather different form of photography.

I invented my own technique of 'Painting with Light' in the early 1960's (long before anyone had computers). Now that I find myself aged 70, I believe that many of my pictures have stood the test of time rather well and so I have decided to sell limited editions of just 8 (although the sizes can vary, there will not be more than 8 sold of each picture).

I have been working with digital images, since I retired, to create more works (often based on my earlier pictures) and without using fractals I have also made some abstract studies from my original photographs.

When you have some time please have a look at: -
