It all started way back when I was about 6, and my parents entrusted me with the safeguarding of a Kodak Brownie on a family trip. And so it began. Click. Freeze the moment. I was hooked. When I was older, I cashed in our books full of Pinky stamps from Steinberg's grocery store, and got myself a Kodak Instamatic X-15, which I still use today. It was the first camera of my very own, and it went everywhere with me.
Things haven't changed much in that department, some 40 years later. In fact the cameras haven't changed much either. I shoot more film than digital, mostly on very old cameras, and will do so until I run out of road...or chemicals. The tactile pleasure of holding a processed strip of Provia 120 just can't be equalled in the digital world. The saturation of the colours is like candy.
We used to have to drive right past a venerable old amusement park to get home. The thundering of the towering wooden roller coaster on those hot summer nights, and screams of the riders still echo in my ears to this day. It also goes a long way towards explaining my fascination with the Kodachrome colours of carnivals.
Photography isn't just about documenting life, but is also about expressing dreams and memories.
And yet, there's still time left over for travel, biking, climbing, astronomy, woodworking, and of course, cooking.
All photos have been taken by me over the years, and are printed mostly on archival quality satin paper, or premium Hahnemuhle cotton photo rag paper.
I will be more than happy to provide prints in specific sizes, with or without borders, even cropped to any wacky size you might want. Just ask, and I'll create a listing.
Here's what they're saying...
"This photo feels like time travel and conjures childhood memories of a sunny day at the fair. The colours on the print are even more vivid than they look on the computer screen. I have hung it in my office and it makes me smile, even on the greyest of Oxford days. Thank you bomobob!"
"I got the photos today and I must say they are even more stunning and more spectacular than I could possibly imagine"
"Oh wow--absolutely beautiful. I'm clearing my walls for my first bomobob set. Will certainly be back for my new addiction :)"
