I guess it is a bit more than an obsession - perhaps one may say so.......

with regards

PS : Of course it is depentable from the perspective of each period one have to look at such guy!
pre 1880 he would have been : A normal pioneer of photography. 1910 : a" crazy upper class dendy "
with expensive hobby. 1950 a guy who get helped in a closed psychiatry, doday it is Ilford,
in some years such guy may be arrested into prison (from wasting food)!!
Should he just today be arrested.....??

You should try it - perhaps you do not wonder about anything after doing this....!

with regards

PS : Not even if your wife .....ähmm - if she has filed for deforce - no wonder about at anytime
Andrew!

PPS : Perhaps this isn't such unlogical : You want deforcement ? And you need a proper reason for it? (like in the UK Düring the 50th-late70th. )
THEN ILFORD CAN HELP YOU - WATCH THIS VIDEO!

PPPS : Seriously (beside all humor) this guy is real crazy - that what he practice isn't Art unless it has nothing to do with photography. So if he just would use digital it could become art - with a more
substance of media critic - but here he is crazy (just from my point)!

Speaking of Haggis... I always think of Monty Python:

Much to his dad and mum's dismay
Horace ate himself one day
He didn't stop to say his grace
He just sat down and ate his face
"We can't have this!" his dad declared
"If that lad's ate he should be shared"
But even as he spoke they saw
Horace eating more and more:
First his legs and then his thighs,
His arms, his nose, his hair, his eyes
"Stop him someone!" Mother cried
"Those eyeballs would be better fried!"
But all too late for they were gone,
And he had started on his dong...
"Oh foolish child!" the father mourned
"You could have deep-fried those with prawns,
Some parsely and some tartar sauce..."
But H was on his second course;
His liver and his lights and lung,
His ears, his neck, his chin, his tongue
"To think I raised himn from the cot
And now he's gone to scoff the lot!"
His mother cried what shall we do?
What's left won't even make a stew..."
And as she wept her son was seen
To eat his head his heart his spleen
And there he lay, a boy no more
Just a stomach on the floor...
None the less since it was his
They ate it - and that's what haggis is

Ilford is really doing a fantastic job of promoting analog to young and old. This is just great. Helps to remove the fear of trying. Well done Ilford !

Back in the 1940/1950s, there was a small college in Mississippi, where, in order to get a degree in geology or any of the biologys and probably physics, you were required to take a course in using a camera in science. As one part of the course, the student was given a ground glass back that allowed the use of sheet film, a long fiber-board tube and a 135mm or similar lens in a shutter (or not) to mount on one end of the tube. After mounting the ground glass back on the other end, the student was required to attempt to use the rig as a "macro" camera, make photographs, develop the film and make prints in a darkroom. The students learned a lot and it looks like the photographer, here, is doing, basically the same thing. We, film photographers, would also learn from doing the same.........Regards!

I went to camera school with a Navy man who built his own view camera. The only parts -- the ONLY parts -- he did not personally create himself from scratch, from film rails, to bellows, knurled knobs and gears, everything, were the shutter and the ball bearings in the focusing race.

But he never served watermelon.
