At Tottenham Community Press we believe that Tottenham deserves a newspaper that is written by and for local people, and which celebrates community in all its diversity. We believe that local news brings people together around the issues that matter most to them and ensures everyone can have a voice in local decision-making.

Now, we’ve come so far and we’re just hoping that the community will get behind us.” Having worked alongside sustainable food organisation, Edible London to run a regular soup kitchen at his premises, and by providing free food each week to community members in need of it, Mr Hassan is looking forward to doing even more. “We’re going to fight this through. We’re all in it together”

He is excited about getting back to giving people some “good nutritional food” and is spending most days finalising menus, writing new recipes, talking to suppliers and seeking locally sourced produce from businesses within the community. Mr Hassan said: “Mentally and physically it’s been a struggle to get to where I’ve got to; it’s been hard, but I can see that it’s going to be a success and that the community is going to be interacting and buying their coffee beans and fresh vegetables.” “It will make me feel good as well, because it’s not just about pizza, or pasta or my homemade Mediterranean meals, it’s all about making sure that everyone Coming back stronger in the community is happy as well. “Everyone thought we had left and that fter encountering many Bounce Back Loan to cover the rent and Nana Susie’s had gone − no, we haven’t By Luchia Robinson setbacks exacerbated by the bills, and to get the renovations started. gone, we’re just evolving and changing; A impact of Covid-19, the Hassan This meant the business was out of action we’re still here to do service.” family are finally re-launching their when cafés, restaurants and bars began Mr Hassan has a long-term goal of How a small business in Broad Lane. re-opening, as the initial lockdown inspiring young children to learn new Coming back after being closed for measures were eased. skills by teaching them how to cook. family-run seven months, with a new look, and new According to the Haringey Business Impact He also hopes to provide culinary name, the family business is no longer the Survey (which assessed the immediate effect qualifications in the near future. business is traditional, sit-down café, Nana Susie’s, but of the pandemic upon local businesses), Achieving these goals, he believes, starts a takeaway operation called the The Deli Co. 79% of respondents expected to need by having the support of the community. “These are worrying times and I just financial assistance to remain viable. “I see [this period] as a test, I’ve learnt and recovering from didn’t know how we were going to survive A further 8% had serious concerns I’ve grown.

TOTTENHAM COMMUNITY PRESS No 40 NOVEMBER 2020 11

My solution was to step back and experiment with simpler analogue alternatives taken from an earlier age of photography. A time when photographers made their own cameras and photographic chemicals and anyone could have a go with what was available in the home.

I made some simple pinhole cameras out of soup tins, and used these to take the images. I developed the negatives from my cameras using a mixture of coffee and a couple of other household products. After copying the negatives into my computer, I then used graphics software to invert them into ordinary photos.

Looking at these images, I see the modern Tottenham as if from a viewpoint in the past. I see a more rural, softer Tottenham, as a green field space on the edge of industrial growth, creativity and innovation.

My grandparents moved out of inner-city London for a better life in rural Tottenham in the 1920s, which was at that time outside London, in Middlesex. Some of this rural history lives on in the green spaces we are lucky to have here and is, I believe, made more visible by these images.

How to make a pinhole camera & develop a photo One of the simplest cameras around is the pinhole camera. This just uses a pinhole in a box to focus light onto a piece of light sensitive material. The box can be anything that is light proof. I made a few pinhole cameras out of empty soup cans by hammering a needle about halfway up the side of each tin to make the pin holes. I put a small strip of insulating tape over the hole, to make the camera light proof. This tape is the camera’s shutter. I cut a cardboard disk the same size as the open top of the can. I placed a small 3.5 by 5.5-inch sheet of photographic paper in the can, opposite the pinhole, and light sealed the open top with the cardboard disk and gaffer tape. Putting the film in the camera needs to be done in the dark, with only a red light. I have a battery camping lantern that I wrap red cellophane around, this provides my darkroom light. To take a picture, just fix the camera to something that will not move, (I use a piece of bungee cord), and point it at the subject you want to photograph. Take the tape off the pinhole for a couple of minutes and put it back. Exactly how long to expose is something that takes practice and experimentation with your camera. Once you have exposed the photographic paper you can develop it using caffenol that you mix yourself. This is a mixture of coffee, washing soda and vitamin C. I use six teaspoons of coffee, three teaspoons of washing soda and three 1000mg effervescent orange flavoured vitamin C tablets. Put the caffenol in a dish that’s big enough to fit the photographic paper when it is flat, and cover it with the fluid. You will also need a similar dish of vinegar and a dish of salt water. In the dark with only a red light, take the gaffer tape off, and the photographic paper out of the soup tin. Place it in the caffenol. Take it out every minute or so to check for an image. When you see a good image, put it in the dish of vinegar to stop the development process. Leave it there for four or five minutes, then move it to the dish of salt water. Once it’s in the salt water you can turn the light on, but keep it subdued. After it has been in the salt water for ten to 20 mins, hang it up to dry. This is your negative. Once it is dry, scan it into your computer and use a graphics package such as the GIMP freeware to invert the negative image to a positive image and flip it horizontally. You now have your pinhole photograph ready to be edited and printed, or put onto social media. The only specialist item needed for this was the photographic paper which can be bought online or at a camera shop. Needless to say, this is not a precise predictable process, it may well take a few attempts and some fine tuning to get it to deliver what you want. 12 No 40 NOVEMBER 2020 TOTTENHAM COMMUNITY PRESS
