Very annoying when that happens. With long replies I have started copying the text to the clipboard before pressing Add Comment. Then if it has timed out I can just paste the message again.
Best regards, John

Inspiration is rarer than a plate glass camera.....

Wow, that is what I call RAW talent and it is one of the best street photography I ever have seen.
This guy is sitting on a gold mine and I hope he knows how to look after un-developed film as he has so much of her.
In a way, watching the video bought tears to my eyes as by today this is no longer possible. Now you need a 'degree' and no longer a portfolio to work for the best.
It shows that even the best pro's can learn from an amateur.

Thanks for sharing this, Kris. An amazing story. Imagine sitting on all that body of work for all those years... I bet there's lots of people like that who just take pictures to please themselves, write novels which are never published, paint pictures which lie about in attics...
Some wonderful evocative images. Same low view point as Tim uses but with the advantage of a near silent shutter and a viewing screen.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
