A knocker-upper was someone whose sole purpose was to wake people up during a time when alarm clocks were expensive and not very reliable. In this photo, Mary Smith earned six pence a week using a pea shooter to shoot dried peas at the windows of sleeping workers in East London, 1930s. She would not leave a window until she was sure that the workers had woken up. #history#blackandwhitephotography
Beaches are places of intertidal liminality. Transient, impermanent and ever changing. To be the first person to walk on the sands as the tide retreats, is to find the world remade.
Hi I'm Root a Photographer, I just joind here looking for a photography community to share work and techniques. I have 40 years experience starting with a Studio/Darkroom spot. I do music, and portrait work as well as some corporate. Below is the first photo that I made at 13yrs where I shot, processed and printed solo. The subject was my dad and one of his RBs. #photography#blackandwhitephotography#film#lasvegasphotographer#rb67#Kodak#Tri-x

St Michael's and South Parish Church, Dumfries. The current church dates from 1741-46, but stands on the site of much older churches, maybe going back as far as the 8th century.
On my route to digitising my old negatives. An untouched (you can tell from the dust) photo of Toyah in concert. Taken when I was supplementing my meagre student grant (remember those?) by taking photos for a number of music papers (remember them?).
