Young Photographers Learn the Trade

You click the shutter for the last time, take out the film and send it away to be developed. What happens to that film and how you get your prints, is, however, a mystery to many people. But not so to 40-odd pupils from Parklands School, Motueka, who were recently taken through the developing and printing department of John Sharp's photographic business. Each of the children took along a negative, and each printed the full negative on one of the three electronic printers, developed the prints and glazed them. Upon arrival, Mr Sharp took a group photograph, and when they left, each child was presented with the finished print. These pics also were taken by John.
