Its great looking back on where you have been and where you are going. always exciting for me to do  |
Glad the nostalia was appreciated, made me think a bit actually.
Don't think even my wizzardry in the repro department could improve that image, it is a scan of a poor quality print actually using a cheap home A4 scanner, The print was once photo cornered to a display from 1984 and was ripped off and poorly stored

I find it often feels like I make little improvement from one year to the next, so it's good to see that after 26 years significant improvement can be seen |
Yeh never give up. I had a 9 year break while trying to become the Worlds Strongest Man but the imaging fire never left me

I can appreciate your images as we did similar stuff in the middle to late eighties. We loved every minute of the adventure and you know I still do. I am sure you do too.
Thanks for the comparison. Love the freezer suit.

You should mate, it's great for comparison purposes. I remember pre 1984 the beez kneez of photographs were being taken by Evered Kraimer (sp?) remember his Messier Album, he used a cold camera, B&W film and 12" Newt if I recall? He was my idol. The bright bits in images were all burned out of course but that was all we knew before David Malin worked his magic
