    Photographic gear to a good home

    I have some photo kit that was my Uncles and whilst he does not want anything for it, he would like it to go to a good home. There is quite a bit of film - old, but still sealed in foil packs - a mix of fuji and kodak, larger format as he used it in a Bronica There are 2 enlargers Pretty much...

    A Right Charlie in the Chocolate Factory

    It seems to have been a long winter of digging, a bit of a marathon and everyone can get a little jaded. Maybe these are the times you are most vulnerable. When you're not quite fully focused and random suggestions sneak in like a sly whisper, before you know it you've been twirled. Chris's...

    The Great Swarthgill Hole Exchange

Having seen the recent articles in Descent I was motivated to write...
