THE CALENDAR MAN

THE CALENDAR MAN - By Bugsy Shutterbug

Despite the hand he was dealt in life this artist made the most of it. A creative chap he made calendars from his own pictures and paintings. This photograph was taken in Prague during december 2008 as the artist sold 2009 calendars.

Sadly Instagram won’t let me a crop the image to original proportions so we have lost the bottom of this image.

I am currently scanning negatives from my university projects in the UK and abroad on Erasmus. I find solace in revisiting them over a decade later.

Most of these photographs were taken on an old analogue Nikon F2AS. Which I sadly had to sell in austere times. I loved the tactility of that beautiful and indestructible camera. It’s served me well for many years and I am enjoying the process of digitalising the fruits of its labour.
