Rank Amateur.
I quite like film photography, all MY pics are copyright.
I like music of nearly every variety and can mostly be found nestling in the past with my open reel recorder and cameras.
My real name is Bill.

I see the English chancellor is telling Scottish people they can't even raise the question of leaving a union of equals.
Again.
They don't half fart higher than their arse the English politicians.

Every year about this time, me and Mrs di Griz give each other our Xmas fund.
We still buy each other little gifts, but we each get to buy our own main present and that way we both get a surprise and a thing we actually want but won't normally buy the rest of the year.

I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

I’m not offering Black Friday discounts this year because I’m a tiny one woman business and I can’t compete with the likes of Amazon. What I can offer - unique designs, high quality UK made products, customer service from a real person, a warm and fuzzy feeling because you are buying from a tiny independent business.

From America, Nov 1970: Land Cameras ad from Polaroid

(+Land Camera)

«There'd better be a good reason.»
An advertisement for two different cameras from the same brand. One camera provides fully automatic exposures and even tells you when your picture is developed, while the other boasts a Zeiss Ikon single-window rangefinder. Both cameras provide a great color picture in a minute. There'd better be a good reason. Both of these Polaroid Land cameras will give you a great color picture in a minute. A black-and-white one in seconds. And completely automatic exposures even for flash shots. But the camera on the left will do things you would not believe. It even tells you when your picture is perfectly developed. (An electronic development timer sounds off with a sharp little “beeep.”) Its electric eye and electronic shutter are so sensitive they'll set any kind of exposure automatically. Color time exposures up to 10 seconds long. Even black-and-white snapshots indoors. Without flash. This camera is brilliantly equipped. Zeiss Ikon single-window rangefinder-viewfinder (you frame your picture while you focus). Sharp triplet lens. Strong, lightweight metal body finished in brushed chrome. And with optional attachments, this camera takes portraits, self-portraits, and close-ups as close as 9 inches. You can still save about $100 with the one on the right. Just tell yourself money is everything.

Princes Street looks suitably gaudy and commercial while also being grimy and uncared for.
Glad to see Edinburgh is willing to hawk their mutton for absolutely any reason at all
All while keeping the spend on the locals to an absolute minimum.
Well done you money grubbing Shitehawks.
