I thought that was pushing 40 years old for a minute then!

<scuttles off to find the channel> … will have a look this next week, not like I’m doing much else! I recognise the locations on your channel. Used to live in Scotland, and have family in the capital 👍🏼

😂 it’s great. Always good to see what others are doing. I barely have time for photography, let alone filming photography! Still not done much pinhole, my 6 x 12 Ondu rise is still in the box unopened. Must be pushing 6 years old now!

I have the same set but in Champagne … I wonder how much the premium for ‘Black’ is?! That is nice though …

Thanks! Hopefully recovery will be textbook, but you never know. Thank heavens for the Quest channel (countless hours so far of car restoration) and YouTube for photography. Working my way through the back catalogue of SFLAB and @willgudgeon.bsky.social at the moment…

Hope you had fun with the G1. Will look forward to the results. $315 for the G1 sounds like a bargain here in the UK! Only just dev’d film from my G2 after I either mis-dev’d or the airport CT scanners ruined my first batch of films!

So far I have spent time lusting after a 4x5 camera, don't know why as I don't use my 'pinsta' camera nearly enough, but I have found the pictured I developed in camera on my desk. It looks like some have degraded over time too. In fact, I'll not be out with a camera until mid Jan 26'.

Couldn’t resist looking this up. Sheer comedy …

How do you develop the 500T? Just C41?

Indeed. Their post goes way to far. Can’t say I’m in the market for a Zero Pinhole anyway (I still have a 6x12 Ondu Rise unopened!), but this ‘service’ would definitely lead me to look elsewhere. Good to know the business is run by petulant teenagers 😂

It would be so funny if any further American photographers did the same ….
I understand their frustrations, but in public?

That wasn’t even the end of the film, there was usable frames after that, so I have absolutely no idea what happened!

I’ve never covered mine either, and never knowingly had light leaks. Lots of questionable photographs, but I put that down to the user! Example-

I’d say so yeah. Can’t say that strikes a chord with me though. Graffiti is not a victim free crime….

That’s an interesting point of view. Perhaps if your train to the hospital appointment, the doctors, the airport was cancelled and you missed said appointment of flight because of it? Just maybe the train was cancelled because of the set being Graffitied (often offensive) being removed from traffic

Blimey! Those tiles and the street look just like a pub I frequented quite a lot over the years in Manc! Not been for a while mind, and must be pushing 30 years since I’ve been drinking in Hackney!

Just fish! (And a bread bun for a fish sandwich) I’m a freak that doesn’t like chips, or any potatoes!

Wow. Thanks! I only tried a couple on my Epson V800 direct on the flatbed, but they didn’t come out well, but they were bright. I must revisit this then as I dismissed it quite quickly! I’m sure it will be sufficient for my photographs!

She’s fabulous, I hope she knows that. It took my late wife a lot of courage to show me her scars after a mastectomy following breast cancer. It’s such a shame that cancer survivors feel this way. Hope the cancer is still in remission.
