The following galleries are associated
with my schooling years between 1971 and 76 at Cobram High School. The
first two galleries were taken on the last day of school as we broke up for exam
study. For our end of year prank, we rounded up all the
HSC teachers and locked then up in the basket ball courts; a great way to
finish the year!!. Photography for
me at this stage was quite new. I had a second hand Olympus trip 35 a roll
of black and white film and a desire to capture this day forever. The
results were a total disaster for me when I processed the film a few days
later. They were out of focus, suffered from movement blur, had scratches
and left over chemicals all over the negatives. I was unable to obtain a
single print. The negatives went into an old envelope and were untouched
for the next twenty-five years.
A school reunion in October 2003 made me realise
what good memories I had gathered over those school years and what good
friends I had made. It's also motivated me to pull out those old negatives
and with the help of computer software like photoshop and image magic, I'm
now able to get am image which is viewable. If anyone from my school years
happen to stumble across these pages, I hope they bring back some happy memories
for you as they have for me. If you enjoyed these galleries, please feel free to either send an
email or fill out the guest book
,or maybe even send in your own pictures if you would like to have then added. All
the best - Bruce
