Prep school age children love to have their photographs taken. And some children also like tasking photograsphs. This seems more popular with the boys thn the girls. Some schools have active photographic clubs. And with all the activities going on, there is lots to photograph. The photography clubs help the children with both taking and developing photographs. When we visited the schools this was all chemically based photography. This has now all changed and the children work with digital photography.
To most keen photographers developing pictures is just as much fun as taking them. We in the Bramcote club develop a lot of our own pictures as long as they are black and white. We sell films at much reduced prices and can develop our films here fifty pence cheaper than a private firm and get equally good quality. With twenty members in the club we get a goof variety of pictures, Jonathan Reeves being one of our best "dark-rrom" men. He has produced some good photographs, some of which find their way into the school magazines! Jonathan Bell came up with a good method of reproducing images onto photographic paper.
