[Leica] At work in the Darkroom

[Lluis Ripoll]

Thank you Jayanand, 

I’ve start developing on late 70’s, on the 80’s I discovered the Ansel Adams books The Negative and The Print, I’ve studied these and I was enthousiast with these lessons up to one day in the 80’s I’ve visited a professional photographer and a friend from when I was a child from my hometown asking his opinions about my work, he said me <Lluis, your pictures are very well made but they are sad> and added <for me photography is the art of capturing life, the instant as no other art can do>, I thought I was right and from that day on I changed my style. However, I like to include these series of a few photographs from my extensive archive that you know about.

Cheers
Lluis
