Alphabe-Thursday is about to take its summer holidays and we have been given that end of term feeling with Carte Blanche to post what we will. I have chosen not to go back but to anticipate. The following seven weeks are to be a rainbow holiday and I am really looking forward to that. But I am of the age that grew up in black and white. The television was black and white. The photographs were black and white because colour photogrphy was quite expensive and my dad developed his own films. Even some of the pictures at the cinema were black and white. Life seemed a lot more black and white too, in that you knew what was right and what was wrong. And now my husband has discovered that the new trend is black and white. He used to do a lot of photography with SLR (single lens reflex) cameras that he bought as a young man and he never really go the hang of his digital camera. He has just read an article that tells him that those really in the know are eschewing the digital in favour of the old fashioned film cameras and he has found that it is suddenly possible again to get the film and batteries for his old cameras. Hurray, at last hubby has a hobby!
Goodness knows what other soup you will find HERE this week!
wow you did well with this posting thanks
ReplyDeleteA fantastic new slant on earlier posts in this meme - love the black & white theme!
ReplyDeleteHappy Alphabe-Thursday,
LOLA:)
PS Mine this time is HERE. Hope you can stop by!
Looking forward is such a great idea. I look forward to summer school.
ReplyDeleteEvery thing seems to come back eventually but who knew people would be getting back to the older type cameras. It's great your husband can start up the photography he likes again.
ReplyDeleteI'm finally getting used to my digital and you're saying film is back???? How cool is that? I miss my older SLR. The digital SLR just isn't the same.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed I do remember black and white tv. Actually I do not think we had a color TV until I was in the upper grade school age. And I did a post when I first started blogging about the fact that I thought my favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz was in completely in black and white until I was a much older child and imagine my surprise the first time it magically changed to color when Dorothy stepped out the door to OZ.
ReplyDeleteWe must be close in age, because all of that black and white was around in my youth. Last year we had a family photo taken and I asked for it in Black and White - colour fades, whereas B&W maintains its integrity.
ReplyDeleteoh yes, most of my childhood photos are black and white ... the colour ones were developed as slides ... i do remember a group of us neighbourhood kids peaking through the living room window just to see one of the neighbours colour tv! it was so cool ... well at least we thought it was.
ReplyDeleteamazing stuff,
ReplyDeletegoing digital is a must nowadays.

ReplyDeleteI love the look of nostalgia with black and white photos or films.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that your husband can now get the film and batteries for his old camera. What goes around comes around.
