On The Door

Unfortunately, in a moment that made me actually cry, both my laptop and backup drive failed on the same day, causing me to lose all the high-resolution images.

Stay tuned! 😊

Luckily, due to my 'collecting' nature, I kept all of those films. Many of the cameras have been rehomed, but the film stayed with me. About 10 years a...
