NEGATIVES TO DIGITAL PROJECT
It is a slow process to digitize all my film negatives that I have in storage from my days of using my Olympus 35 mm camera, as well as the Kodak Instamatic Camera, back in the period of the 1970s to 1980s. It is a fun project I have thrown myself into!
Part 5
Here are a couple of pics that I snapped in the 1970s:

BABA DESI
‘Desi, Remaining Strong!’
Yesterday I caught up with my friend Desi (93) in the morning in the township of Belgrave (Victoria, Australia).
Baba Desi is a true local of the Dandenong Rangers in Victoria (Australia), a colourful character, filled with passion about life. He is Belgrave’s very own ‘Wizard’. At close to ninety-four years of age, he is a strong believer of people power, in short, he is an Activist, ‘born to fight for Justice’ as quoted in the mainstream press. If there is a social justice cause to fight for, or to lend a supporting presence, he is generally there in the front line, with his distinctive colourful clothing and ornate walking stick. I always enjoy having conversations with Desi. I meet up with him regularly around the shops of Belgrave; and during our long conversations we usually solve the problems of the world, as activists sometimes do….
Thank you, Desi, for allowing me to regularly photograph you …… John Weeks.
