So, This is Goodbye

The project is a series of photographs made using my antique Argus 75 Medium format film camera during a field trip to the Central coast beaches, Maitland Bay and MacMasters Beach. 

The idea of this series is to photograph things and people in a happenstance way during my stroll of these beaches. I welcome the chance meetings and accidents which mark the film due to its age and condition. 

I prefer to use intuition as a guide to when I take photographs. I also like to experiment with using different colour film from the unusual stock found in camera shops, the film for these photographs is from a Russian film lab online. 

All these combinations come together and reveal a story of some sort when I have the film developed and can look through the prints. 

This story seems to be edging towards a goodbye of humankind and a return to nature.
