Programme seller at the Natural History Museum, London.
He had kept the queue entertained with his strong Welsh accent as we waited for the doors to open. He was still working hard a couple of hours later when we left, but the voice was struggling a bit.
We had been to see the Salgado Genesis exhibition, which was splendid.

Walking back after looking at some contact sheets and musical memorabilia from the 1960s in the Stables Gallery, Twickenham exhibition "The Birth of Rhythm and Blues" we came across this wedding party. The suit on the right just seemed appropriate.

Look! A Zorki 4 and a Voigtlander Perkeo, all loaded with film and ready to go. Not the kind of cameras used by so many people these days, but these actual items are responsible for many a fine image over at Boxes and Bellows, with the help of Andrea, of course, who we were lucky enough to meet recently, together with Eve. Please go along and enjoy the trip.

An M8 file from 2007. As I might have said before, I never really enjoyed using this camera because it felt nothing like a proper M. To me, the shutter sounded like a ball bearing dropping into a tin can.

My scanner is repaired. To celebrate having it back and to test it, here is the post repair scan.
Taken at a dog show in a sports hall in Carlton, Nottingham in 1979.
(HP5 at 400asa in D-76 1+1. M3 +35 Summilux).
Now, because I said to someone that I would, I must take a photograph on film and print it (but only on an inkjet) for this year's project.
