Another element of my blog was to post photographs taken in the 70's and 80's.  About a year after selling off most of my darkroom gear in 1977 because I needed the money I bought my first new camera a Leitz-Minolta CL a rangefinder that could use M-series Leica lenses so I could still practice photography or maybe even go in a different direction.  99% of these photos were crap and lots of rolls of film I never even bothered to get developed and printed out but between 1978-1987 and beyond I did take the occaisonal image that I am still proud of.  I only wish now I had shot black and white film but I never back then seriously thought I would one day work in a darkroom again or want too.
