(Visit Frank's Gallery) FRANK TIPPER
Frank first took a serious interest in photography using a Kodak Retina III in the late 1980’s and progressed to a Canon EOS 620 camera. Gradually he became disillusioned with the quality of the development and printing available in the High Street and by mail order. In 1992/93 Frank set up his own darkroom to develop and print his own colour and black & white films. Some of the results can be seen and he hopes enjoyed, at this exhibition.
