I fell in love with photography long before printing or
publishing photos in black and white was just an artsy choice but was a necessity. In
fact it was the only way to pass my Photography 101 and Photojournalism
classes. During the late 90’s (when I was still a freshman at the College of
Mass Communication (CMC) in UP,) the use of digital cameras were discouraged.
We had to do it the old-fashioned way: load our manual SLR cameras with black
& white film, process the negative, project the image on the light
sensitive photo paper and finally process and print that projected image. And
yes, I have spent a chunk of my time in the dark room and have crashed into
someone a couple of times.
Like most film students, Necopan
too was one of my favorite brands. |
