Another happy customer. Vivid is an excellent Christmas gift for the photographer in your life, available whilst stocks last.

“Vivid” from the @photozinecoll.bsky.social arrived today.
So into colour photography these days (only because I now make RA4 prints) so lovely to see others work in print. All to a great cause as well.
