Once upon a time, photography was just a thing of clunky cameras, rolls of film, and smelly chemicals for processing. You had to got to the trouble of buying film, choosing every shot carefully, desperately avoid the blinks of your subjects, then when the shooting session was over, check how many shots you had left on the roll of film in your camera. Later you’d have the film processed at your local pharmacy and wait any interminable amount of time for the processing to be completed…It all seems such a chore!

Then one day, a beautiful thing happened, a digital revolution materialised and out of it were born three great things. The first was the digital camera. Then came the digital printer & finally Photoshop emerged. It gave every one who tried it a sense of power. For some it gave a sense of status, while others developed true style!
