Taking Chances

From early days I had been experimenting in the darkroom with sepia and blue toners in my photography. These techniques are exemplified below in the images of Westminster Abbey and the Ministry of Defence and ranging from simple back-lit pin holes on Dyfnant Forest, to a weeks worth of multi-image collage for Greenham Common; this was long before the days of photoshop.
