GALLERY: Nissequogue in Black and White

Photographer Tom Gillen shares his shots taken the old fashioned way, on film.

 

There was a time, not so long ago, when pictures required a trip to the local drug store for processing and not a glance on the camera screen to see if it was a keeper.

Photographer Tom Gillen decided to dust off his Canon AE-1 from 1986, given to him by his father, and shoot on black and white 35mm film. 

"It takes a lot more attention to detail when shooting with film since there is no instant feedback or previews of your photo, but the results are photographs that look like they could have been taken 25 years ago," said Gillen.  "I love it."

Apparently you are not the only one this is happening to. From what I understand if these signs areRead More on a main drag somehow they are disappearing in the middle of the night. Hmmm, now I wonder who or what organization could be doing this illegal act? I'm not going to make an educated guess who could be involverd in this deed but I think if Kings Parkers do some research they are smart enough to figure out who does not want the real facts of the "Uplands Project" to come to light. Displaying these signs is a way of making the public aware of the atrocity of this project. Questions will then be asked. Making a night run to remove them is, at the least, a cowardly act that should be publicized every time it occurs!
