Whilst the development of digital cameras has made the processing and printing of colour photographs considerably less of a chore than it was in the days when I had my trusty Nikon FM It is still often more satisfying to shoot in Black and White. I now have a Fuji Finepix S9500 and have recently moved up to a digital SLR with the Canon 450D (Digital Rebel Xsi) Thankfully I can still revert to Black and White when the occasion calls for it. These photographs were a light - hearted attempt to evoke the glamour of old movie star pin ups; the photographs I enjoyed as a schoolboy; the age of Marilyn Monroe, well thumbed books of fine art photography from the school library and the occasional naughty magazine borrowed from older friends!
