The very fact that I initially set out and created the template for this Blog over a year ago with no further action has only reinforced my initial reasoning and rationale for my need to undertake it in the first place.
Put very simply I feel that I have become a complacent participant in the digital photographic age!
I needed to address this. I actually feel a little guilty! My cherished and beloved collection of cameras lay in their boxes and cases protected and safe but increasingly used less and less.
And so I set about hatching a plan. Something that would encourage me to use my cameras again. Possibly buy some more! But more importantly reconnect with the photographic process.
It had to be something that would keep me going and focus my efforts. Knowing that I have five films awaiting processing (and a couple possibly partially shot) was a further sad indictment of my detachment from analogue and film photography.
I wanted it to be something that would ensure that I used each of my cameras, was time bound and most importantly, NOT DIGITAL!
So here we are. Albeit a year after my original idea to focus some energy back in to analogue photography.
Twelve months. Twelve cameras.
Each month dedicated to one camera the results of which will be published here!
Now to decide on the runners.....
