You know what...
**SCREW AMAZON**
I didn't realise how angry I was about them until I saw all the Prime Day ads. We've always known their track record on paying taxes, looking after their workers, supporting small suppliers, nurturing niche industries etc is terrible...

Just found this AMAZING simple image that answers ~95% of new-to-film customers' questions when they have problems with their negatives
Worth bookmarking!!
Does anyone have any builds or additions?
The number of big brand stands where half-naked young women are stood posing under lights while groups of middle-aged men take photos to 'practice with the new technology' is embarrassing. Seriously

Earlier this week I gave some film to the lab to develop. It was my uncle's he found while clearing out his house, probably from the 90s so I asked the team not to show me the pics😂😅
Only to find baby pics of me & my brother and mum and dad circa 2001!🤯🥹

I'm inordinately pleased with how our new sticker has turned out 😂 It really makes me chuckle
Although what would be the next line of the song?!
Something about... fixer...?
Yesterday I was lucky enough to get a little film camera haul! These cameras were rescued from the loft of my boyfriends grandma’s house! ❤️
Some pretty bad corrosion on some sadly, any tips for how to fix battery corrosion? 🪫

Move update! We're 100% out of the old unit; now setting up the stock and processes in the new 💪
Which means: well on track for beginning to dispatch parcels once more from TOMORROW MORNING! 🚛
Honestly, the team have been incredible. 24hrs downtime for a move like this is 👌
My cultural dislike of shameless self-promotion is warring with the fact that this is something Mary and myself are genuinely REALLY PROUD about!
So I've added some thoughts about what we're planning for 2020 to balance the pats on the back ☺️
Have you ever brought an old camera and had the treat of finding an unprocessed roll of film inside? 🎞️
We were sent this photo by Stefan Lorret, taken on an old roll of Ilford HP3. Stefan estimates this photo was taken in the late 60s, but the photographer remains unknown! 😮
