Default Introduction

Hello, I’m Clive and live in west Cornwall and just like Trond from Norway, I received a note about FADU when I bought an item from RH Designs. I love the physical integrity of film and although I appreciate digital technology and think it a wonderful tool to enhance photography, over the last few years I think it’s been hijacked by commercialism. A camera is basically a light tight box with a hole or lens at one end and light sensitive material or digital receptor at the other end. Good photography is about capturing what you see through the viewfinder, not about multiple microchip functions within the camera. Simplicity is often the best solution and most eloquently summed up by Henri Cartier-Bresson at his last exhibition in London with his quote from Francis Bacon -
“The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention.”

Welcome Clive, I also feel that simplicity is the key to an absorbing picture.
