Never Too Old

This Gent 89 years old gave me a lot of wonderful photo gear including the camera used here a 1955 MINOLTA AUTOCORD TLR. It was filthy -- I had to clean it up-- I took off focus hood and cleaned mirror and rear of lens -now it is very happy ! I went and took a roll of film and did them some 10x8"

Would have been at home at the Globe with Shakespeare directing. When the Brits age they do not age, their humour just gets more jest and less understatement. - David Lyga (guilty of anachronism.)

NB: Pete. all you ever use is old film. You are beginning to act like me (heaven forbid).
 
Ha Ha David !! My film was fresh in 1993 but it has taken a long time to get through 100 rolls i bought before ORWO went broke and all the B&W Press Work went !
