The last frame on the last film processed this year, and there haven't been many films used in 2024.
Here I am pretending to be taking a photograph (no film in the camera) while being photographed with a Minox camera,
probably not used for over 20 years, with a film loaded in September and finished just before Christmas so I could
under develop it before the New Year.
I hope you have a happy, healthy and safe 2025, and successful and enjoyable photography.
