Nice black and white images! . I miss B and W processing at home in our dark room during the early seventies. Just watching the image appear on plane paper was always exciting.
Our every day vision is in colour. So B and W makes an image standout in a bold and viivid way.
Colour is such a big thing these days and cannot imagine going back to the old format. Always enjoyable seeing B and W images in art galleries Not sure you can buy BandW film.
Of course you can convert a colour imagine to BandW but it doesn’t have the contrast a pure BandW film can create
I have inherited the family black and white photo albums. There are pencilled in names so that I could connect the relatives that I did not meet ‘in person’ with anecdotes of their lives from Mum’s memory.
There are black and white settings in Scotland, Ireland, England and India that I too have questions about.
We set up a dark room twice. Firstly, for my brother in our weatherboard home in Victoria. My daughter benefitted from my brother’s re-use principles and developed Black and white films with photo paper, development trays and an enlarger which he gave to us.
Our conversations today have been about our first cameras and their evolution. A welcome memory test for us.
Thanks for such an interesting article. Hong Kong must have been an exciting place for a young Jane to grow up in. Did you end up using the camera professionally?
Thanks Linda. So great to meet you today too. I'm going to be in touch by email shortly. By the way, I love Canada! Relatives in Vancouver, friends in Toronto... what's not to love?
I love the story behind your images, and look forward to seeing more, and hearing your family stories. I hope your show goes well and good luck with your site.
Nice to have read your article tonight after meeting you online this afternoon. You have led a very interesting life growing up in Hong Kong and being given your own camera, taking pictures and now sharing with Projectkin. Love the one with your dog. Linda
I really enjoy the stories behind photographic images. The 'written word' : the long hand vocabulary to journalism I am a fan of this style of photography...so there is that :) Your Images and the tales they tell do not dissapoint ..thank you:)
Thank you for these images, Jane. I still have an album containing some of my black and white photos taken with my first camera - a Kodak Brownie Starflash, taken around 65 years ago. Still interesting to look back on these photos.

May your photography continue to inspire you.

That was a great article Jane. I see in your self portrait your are using an OM10. I still have mine and loved using it until digital took over.

Love Jane's work and your current project gives delightful perspectives of you and of colonial HK.
