"21st century monochrome"
Christine Widdall, AFIAP, DPAGB, BPE3*

"I was brought up taking pictures and learned how to process them in the darkroom from the age of about 5. The excitement of taking and making images has never diminished for me. In common with so many others, I have "gone digital" in recent years and now use a digital SLR for image capture. My pictures have been primarily made for my own pleasure. Some are "competition" pictures, others just an expression of my enjoyment of a day, an area or a subject."
