Franc: I finished my BTEC Photography at City of Westminster College. I still work as a teacher, and I am in the London Photographers’ branch of the NUJ [ http://londonphotographers.org/ ]. I hope to do more journalism, but it’s all a matter of making the time to get out there and snap the action. I LOVE shooting film, and use a couple of Pentax 35 mm with a range of lenses, as well as a Bronica medium-format. Usually I’m using a Canon 5D, or my old 350 which fits all the lenses. The processing is easier for digital, but often far less magical than seeing the print emerge from the wet bath. I have long-term projects, including shooting American Football in London and a few occasional commissions. I'm also busy in the Journalists' union, eg the London Photographers' Branch. I keep in touch with the guys and gals I went to college with. Many of them seem to be on the ‘weddings’ side of things to keep the bills paid, but a few are ‘artists’ who keep busy with private commissions, studio work, and so on. Have a look at my other foto page http://francsphotos.blogspot.com/ , or by clicking on the top-most 'gadget' at the top of the first page.
