Exposed

I studied art in Sligo Regional Technical College between 1976-1980. I specialised in sculpture but loved photography too. We had a photography lecturer from Belgium called Jacques Piraprez who was a bit eccentric and on occasions wore orange dungerees, and a red crocheted tea cosy-type cap over his long curly black hair. Before long I had an expanding portfolio of black and white photographs that I had assembled from many hours working in the darkroom. I think we used a Pentax K 1000 most of the time, and a larger format camera, a Mamiya, Mamiyaflex C2 120 (I think) , occasionally. The picture below is of a roll of 120mm film I shot in my final year. I never got round to developing it. I have no idea what pictures are on it but it reminds me of very happy days spent learning to be an artist.
