I am attending my own university at the moment ...finally setting aside time to remake all of my web presences in Dreamweaver. Working on Analogue Resistance .com and the moment. Editing and re editing what that means..........here's where I am at currently after hours of thinking and slashing......getting close.

I was first hooked as a child, unknowingly at the time, while holding a silver gelatin print sitting on the lounge floor of the family home, having that magical experience of looking through the family Box Brownie archive . Fifty five plus years later in another life, while scanning silver gelatin paper negatives and observing details magnified x 150, I found myself still hooked, still a stunned mullet, wide eyed and gape mouthed, captivated by their absolute emulsive beauty and magicality.
People can have an aversion to the word 'resistance', it being seen as an oxymoron, 'negative' or 'anti' something, and yes in contemporary and historic contexts resistance movements operate in occupied spaces working towards restoration, replacement or freedom. Being part of a resistance movement might mean burning bridges or holding to a conviction. The Analogue Resistance (TAR) is an expression of freedom and has no interest in analogue vs digital debates or arguing, like who is right, who is the best, whose is the only way, or the only truth.
'Resistance' has another meaning or expression, and that being about choices made in daily life. Choices which in larger or smaller ways may slow down movement or a headlong plunge and in this context in the direction of an exponentially developing digital world.
Choices are personal, with myriad out-workings, expressions and blended outcomes. They can be deliberate acts of going against the flow, the current, the direction, against the more common thread.
