Andrew has selected some of the comments you made about the project:

When I first came to the Brontë Parsonage Museum I didn’t know anything about the Brontë family history. Now I have learnt how skilled the Brontës were. Charlotte, Emily and Anne were very talented authors and wrote some very famous stories. The moors had a lot of influence and memories for the Brontës and the saddest thing was none of them lived very long – Danielle Holdsworth

The thing I enjoyed about working with others was that we all worked well as a team and all had a lot of things in common – Danielle Holdsworth

Everyone had ideas and they would all come together very well for a great end result – Christina Heron

I enjoyed most being a part of the project up on Top Withens. I had never been out on the moors – Christina Heron

What I have found most difficult is hard to answer because the support and guidance we had from Simon and Andrew was so good. I don’t think I had any problems because if we couldn’t understand anything they always explained it to us – Danielle Holdsworth

The most interesting thing I’ve learnt is how you can take photos from the simplest equipment – Bethany Heron

I was most surprised by how easy it was to construct a camera.. I enjoyed the whole experience – Bethany Heron

Yesterday I liked being able to hold the Bronte things, specially the tiny book done by Charlotte. I didn't find it easy to read the words. I also liked the wooden lion which the Bronte children had played with. Making the silhouettes and being able to develop and fix them was the best part of Monday, but I did not like the dark room at first because my eyes take a long time to get used to very low light. I had not been to the National Media Museum before so today was fun and interesting. I liked the magical area where we could try out different light experiments. My granddad says he has enjoyed it as well – Amy Prior

The most important and interesting thing I have learnt about photography is that you don’t need fancy modern cameras to be able to take a photo and the way light is so important in photography. Being able to make the camera with a box was so unbelievable and the results of the pictures, which were developed, were really cool. Sunlight and a dark room to develop is the key point of photography – Danielle Holdsworth

I have used a camera before but never developed or took it so seriously, I just clicked a button and that was it. Now I realize why photography was so important to our ancestors – Danielle Holdsworth

The developing was exciting and surprising and amazing – Christina Heron

What surprised me most was the pictures appearing like magic on the paper – Christina Heron

Being in an exhibition is really exciting to me but also a bit scary because I know people all around the country will see it – Danielle Holdsworth

I would like to carry on tasking photographs and I am also going to use the new skills I have learnt from Simon. I want to frame my own work around my house – Danielle Holdsworth

After the project I think I am better at spotting things to take pictures of – Bethany Heron
