scenes from an analogue picnic
Spring has sprung in Melbourne and we find our thoughts turning once again to outdoorsy type activities. A traditional indicator that the weather has fined up is when the Melbourne Flickr group’s regular monthly meet goes BBQ. This year, the silver mine gave the October meet a touch of old school analogue spice with a DIY developing sausage sizzle in the park.
The idea itself seemed rather simple, a social event with an analogue twist. A traditional sausage sizzle get-together with the twist being giving the usually digital snappers in the Melbourne group the opportunity to handle some film cameras and to then develop the film right there in the park beside the sizzling snags. and as if that was exciting enough we would also produce some prints from those same negatives. Pass the sauce!
