 | 11th Aug 2010 | South African Steam at Millsite
I was working in South Africa recently and had less than 4 hours for sight-seeing before the return flight. My host Hoosain, knowing I was into steam, took me to this "Museum". We were barred by security for ages and was left with less than an hour to wander round these giants from the past. I was blown away looking, and only remembered to take a few pictures

 | 10th Aug 2009 | Darkroom disasters - 60's Black and White Steam
My darkroom was actually the kitchen, as I used a light box to produce contact prints, and film was loaded into the developing tank in the wardrobe. The good results can be counted on one hand, but this is a collection of the worst!
Still, for your pleasure.........
