Hi rottenmilk, yes its funny how I can remember the first film we seen together, we still go to the cinema.
I cant for the life of me remember the other film that was on, double features in those days

.
Yes whole areas were flattened in the 60s to the early 80s, some have very litle photographic evidence that they existed.
Strepadairs photos of Gorbals to Townhead, shows that somewhere there will always be somebody who took photos.
Mind you in the days of film it was more expensive to take photos, using Digital, some times I have over 200 in the one session.
Imagine paying for the developing and printing plus the room the photos would take up.
Not to mention the ease of lightning and darkning photos or whatever you want to do with them, not so easy with 35mm
I have an edit feature that lets me bring out the shaded areas of buildings, no more dark buildings because its sunny.
Bye for now, norrie

Hi fjiord, perhaps you are right but I think the advantage of Digital is the amount of photos you can take.
I have been photographing Glasgow since the late 80s but I only had photos here and there, now with Digital I have photographed all the tenements I could find in the south side, only have Shettleston and Baillieston to finish in the east end and am working my way down the North West end to St Georges rd, and Park Circus
I dont think I would have tried all that using 35mm.
Bye for now, norrie

I hope this gets to the person who uploaded the photos of Glasgow in 1973. These brought back many memories - thank you. There is a photo in the collection of a church on the south side of Monkland Street with a caption that asks if anyone knows the name of the church. It was Martyrs Church. An uncle of mine, Rev Jim Miller, was a minister there for some time. I kick with the other foot, and attended school round the corner from the Martyrs Kirk, in St Mungo's Academy.

So we all settle down and had a peruse of the streapadair photos and we thought....
(Insert Swear Words Here)

Just when we get over the initial shock of seeing our childhood memories in glorious mono from a period oozing nostalgia the bugger goes and does it again just as the adrenal gland starts to settle down.

He uploads more of this historic pornography

I am sensing a time machine or some other foul play.
If its a time machine can i have a wee shot as i really want to go back to 1987 and give myself a good boot in the Knackers for something.
