Agfamatic 200 and Truprint XG 200

Reading Time: 3 minutesI am going back a bit through some of my archives and pulling out a few old experiments to look over. This is partly personal – I have not done as much photography for a while, and also have a pile of undeveloped film I

Leeds to London

Reading Time: 3 minutesI have been sent down to London for a meeting with DCLG about Deposit Protection Services recently. This is possibly about the most boring subject in the world, but any excuse to go to That London I guess. I met a friend there this time,
