Thank you for your very kind offer, however I take your point about location. It might be worth posting it as available on this site or, maybe better http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/index.php?

Annie Leibovitz can do little wrong in my eyes. She is an amasingly talented photographer and as far as the portrait in question is concerned, I think it is superb. Photographs should make you think and question which is exactly what this shot has done

Leica R9

Sean Thank you for that and I will contact my local colleges. I find it very sad that conventional D&P is no longer on the curriculum. Up and coming students will never get to see that magic moment when the image first appears in the tray

I wish to return to 35mm B&W processing and printing after many years using colour reversal. I live in Yorkshire, I am retired and broke but will give a good caring home to someone's no longer used darkroom

Only this week have I decided to dispose of my entire Lp collection and turntable, see post "Nottingham Alalogue Spacedeck for sale" in classified. I believed I needed to journey the nostalgia path, which I have done over the past 10 months since having the Spacedeck but, been there done that, I...

Did not know of this Johann Johannsson album thanks, listened to the clip and ordered it from Amazon UK. Someone mentioned trumpet, I guess you are familiar with Arve Hhenriksen on Rune Grammofon a sub of ECM

I am familiar with the high quality of Japanese LP's can anyone tell me, is it worth spending the extra on Japanese CD recordings?

I think the internet and ebay does pose a real problem to retailers and no they cannot compete like for like. I believe they need to re think how the opperate and offer a much more specialist service to us buyers. Relics in Leeds have done just that and are reporting sales growth, in fact so...

I know this might sound a little arse about face but I have just received and listened to "Inferno" part one of Edgar Froese's magnum opus and it is equally as good, but different to part three. Recorded live, it faithfully follows ths Davina Commedi and explores our deluded mindset. On the...

I would say we are spoilt these days with all this high quality gear.maybe we need to step back a bit. Get back to the music

Once played a gig with him in Bingley West Yorkshire, I think it was called The Ferrands Arms. Really nice guy. "Love Cronicles" is a great album. I love "John the baptist in the park gettting laid thinking there's no one looking". Almost as good as Bob Dylan " The pumps don't work cos the...

Please explain
