I’ve been thinking about installing a dark room in my house. Ive been going to metroprint for mine. Metroprint black and white prints are great! At the moment I’m enjoying professional photo printing at Metroprint (and for colour printing), but I think it would be nice to get in the habit of using a darkroom again. Plus some of my favourite photographers shot in black and white. This shot is by Diane Arbus, she walked around photographing deviant society. What’s quite interesting is that all of her subjects gave her consent to take their portraits. She developed relationships with many of her subjects and often re-photographed them through the years. Many people criticise her for this, saying she took advantage of her subjects. But I think there’s a fondness that runs through her portraits. You can feel an affection to the people she photographs in her photos. Anyways the father of twins said this photograph was the worst likeness to his daughters that he’d ever seen, but I still love this photograph.
