Windy walk in Portstewart circa 1994
I thought I would share one of the pics I’m putting into the book I’ve been doing for her 18th. The first one was taken nearly 16 years ago when I was visiting a friend in Portstewart. I think it was Feb/March and freezing and we had a very wet, wild and windy walk on the beach. I took pics that weekend, well I must have because I brought my camera, but I cannot for the life of remember what they were or where they are. This is the one pic I think of from that weekend and it was taken by my pal.
I do remember that the negative was blackly dense and completely under exposed. But when printing up the other pics (that I have no recollection of) as I slide the negative through the holder I realised there was something on the negative. So a little bit of messing about later I found this, its of me and the Young Wan walking on the beach. And I love it.
The banding in the pic is probably down to my not leaving it in the stop bath for long enough and its faded over the years. But still its one of my favourites, the others are just very cute
