On the square

Sheringham Beach, Norfolk, UK

Another of the Bronica 6x6 images. I have a fondness for the square format that probably harks back to my early photography years when i started to use the 126 film format.

The Hanimex 88x was my first camera, taking the 126 film cartridge which produced square negatives. The quality was great and i really loved the square photographs that little camera gave me.

Looking back now, I can see that the experiences of using that simple little camera helped me when it came to composing and framing images using the square format Bronica, some two decades later.
