A Magic Art
Photography started as a ‘Magic Art’. I believe the magic starts with an internal human response to what the eyes see. The ‘magician’ uses light sensitive film to record what the eye and heart has responded to. The magic continues when chemicals are applied to the film to produce a negative image. Similar ‘Magic’ chemicals applied to a sensitized piece of material make a positive image. The early experimenters of photography used and tried all sorts of different combinations of chemicals and methods to capture and record ‘Magic’ moments.The Photographer
The magic of photography took hold when I first saw a print develop in a school camera club
I have now been in the photographic industry for many years so I have seen many major technical developments in cameras, colour processing and digital imaging. But I find the traditional way of making a photograph with film and chemicals has a more emotive and romantic appeal to me. Using even older alternative processes and a low tech pinhole camera just adds to the ‘Magic’.
