A device for spot-welding plastic?

Beautiful.

Or vice versa. I have stacks of B&W contact sheets with no films I can find.
Love those shots, Jackson, especially the car. Looks like it might belong to a technologically advanced hobbit.
When I get some more time, I'll dig out the slides from my first visit to NZ (to meet the future in-laws) in 1984.

Thanks. Made me realise I need to find that old light box and the loupe that used to be a permanent fixture on my desktop, because sorting through hundreds of slides with the naked eye and a window is not easy... At least with print film you can look at the prints!

And here's a self-portrait in the mirror, interesting mainly because I loved that old Nikon FM and its standard lens, and for the paraphernalia around my room. There's the Tippex, for instance, important to any jobbing journalist... Late 70s again.

This is from my "arty portrait" phase. Paul is now a branding guru. At the time (late 70s), he shared a flat with me in Stockwell.

Yesterday it rained in Waipara, and I did something I've been meaning to do for some time - hooked up my old Nikon slide scanner, upgraded VueScan, and played with a few images from the box of slides that has remained more or less untouched for a couple of decades. It's interesting how much more "discoverable" images are in the digital age.
Most of the images are of interest only to the people involved, but there are some I'm very happy with. Here's a picture of my friend Jenny, from the late 70s. Taken in Dulwich, London.

Yum!
I have a panettone (a gift) awaiting conversion to a superior bread and butter pudding.

Any time, Jackson. Bring a camera... ;-)
As for showing off... some might call it marketing. 8-)
