Over the years a mass of interesting bits and pieces has flowed through my fingers. We buy things, we enjoy them, we sell them, they continually circulate and it's really the meat and drink of the amateur photographer. Just that one more accessory that's absolutely essential. Just that one more lens....Of course, eventually photography moves on and desirable items no longer have any practical use and then they become collectables. And don't we just love collectables....
I'm going to look in some of my old image folders now and see what I can find that once was so desirable. Let's discover what there is together.
Anyone for a dry mounting kit? This is for mounting prints on board using a special heated tissue system.
A folding plate drier.
