Shocked to hear of the passing of Pól Mac Ruairí a wonderful islander of Tory, a great musician and a true gentleman. No journey into Tory island will be the same, as every time I photographed him, his twinkle in the eye, his musical prowess and his lyrical command of language, was the highlight of my visit. RIP 🎞📷

I have a love for my old manual cameras that accompanied me when documenting The Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1970s… my old negatives

[Eric Luke @EricLuke2]

@AndyMan26366573 Yes indeed. Loved working in a darkroom printing negs. No two prints were exactly the same 🎞

@AndyMan26366573 It was printed in a “proper darkroom” as I shot it on 35mm film and developed myself and printed myself. I trained as a darkroom printer before I was promoted to a full time photographer and a five decade career followed 🎞📷
