Fujifilm | Rupert Marlow
I have always loved photography – ever since I was given a camera by a family friend as a 7th birthday present. I promptly took it to bits only to be discovered by Betty (the generous donor) when I was mid-panic about not getting it all back together. It never worked again but an identical replacement meant she was none the wiser. I should thank my Mum and Dad for getting me out of that one! It was a fixed, 35mm automatic film camera and I loved it. I barely took anything interesting but the process fascinated me and this interest steered many things from my GCSE choices – Art had an optional photography module – and then a Photography A-level as a 4th to accompany my highly academic subjects of Speaking/Reading (English) Colouring in (Geography) and Making Numbers Up (Business Studies). My time in the darkroom (mainly developing Ilford 3200 film) was a welcome break from school-life – which I never really enjoyed anyway……..
