[LargeFormat] Polaroid film/ My first photos

[philip lambert]

Sorry uncle I should have known better. It's all the fault of my childhood
spent in accountancy.  The whole concept of value for money is a snare and a
delusion. The scales have fallen from my eyes and I have seen the light.
Today I go out on the canal(no not walking on the water) trying to get some
decent 5x4 exposures of at least ten seconds on the move to get an artistic
blur.  I will write again. Philip
