Forgot to add that they were using a DIY 10x8 camera made with Ikea shelving...

It may be a crass, ignorant and inaccurate thing to say, but getting people away from the absurd idea that new technology should automatically replace what has gone before is good.

Lovely seeing people enjoy themselves with film.

Computers leave me with mixed feelings, though. I love forums like this one and having access to lots of great information but I'm saddened by all the jobs lost in the process. I think I'd "uninvent" them if I could. |

"Here are more kids using film, this time at Leeds Metropolitan Uni."
That's where I learned to use a darkroom in the mid 70s though it was called the Polytechnic then. |

The point about soul is a good one. However efficient some new technology may be, I think you can feel divorced from the activity instead of part of it. When using my Kiev 60, Zenit, Rollei or Solida etc. I like the feel that I'm using something that has a human connection. That, of course doesn't mean that it isn't capable of fine results. I get irritated when anyone thinks that because I like my vinyl LP collection I must like my music "all hissy and scratchy" as someone once said who was old enough to know better.

Three peas in a pod! I still like listening to my Rega Planar 3 that I bought about 30 years ago. Full disclosure: I love Spotify for introducing me to new music.

I know that they aren't of course because BSA went bankrupt but isn't it time the Post Office moved the contract to, say, Honda Mike |
