Ultimo TAFE 50 years of Photography

I was recently invited to submit a few of my images to be included in the exhibition celebrating 50 years of Photography at Ultimo TAFE. 

I spent four years studying Photography here between 2000 and 2004 and although it presented many challenges I enjoyed learning and improving my skills from year to year. Back then it was a film based course with 2 years of black and white printing and processing and then continued on with 2 years of shooting with transparency film. This provided me with a solid platform to be able to pursue a photography career. I am sure things have changed dramatically since I attended this TAFE as the digital age has now evolved and was on the cusp of it when I was attending.

I now shoot with digital cameras only but still own two film cameras a beautiful old Rolleicord with its original case and a Hasselblad Rangefinder. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to learn and grow using film and am also happy to embrace digital technology. I look forward to the future and evolution of the digital era.
