© Graham Hughes 2013 All Rights Reserved Paper negative, 1st shot out of an unknown, unmarked Box Camera I aquired I don't know where. I really love this as it made me realise that my photography is more like painting that the reproduction of a moment or a place. To me this is very Van Gogh. Not enough time in the day. Another late night session.
