The ending of a year is a time for introspection, so here is a fairly self-indulgent self-portrait from January 1984. Shot on an unknown colour negative film - I was buying 100 ft rolls and cutting my own film in those days.

Black Friday - Two for One! Another revisit prompted by the rearrangement of our wall-mounted pictures, having finally tracked these negatives down (or should that be "up") in the loft. Here's Rachael posing in May 1994 at the sadly now defunct Gatwick Zoo. Shot on Ilford HP5. Lovely negatives - just a little dust/scratch removal, some added contrast and gold tone.

Prompted to revisit this shot of Sonia from June 2001 after a rearrangment of our wall-mounted pictures at home and a desire to reprint it. It was taken on a family holiday near Rome and shot on Kodachrome.
