New camera!

Article text
Since seeing my Peak District images from my degree project again, I had rekindled my interest in photography, and realised I missed working in the darkroom, and wanted to get back into it.
After a brief look around for a medium format film camera over the last few weeks, I'd decided that it wasn't going to happen in the near future due to finances being a bit snug at the minute. However, I was told about an advert in the local paper - someone selling a load of darkroom equipment for an unmissable price. I went an had a look, and ended up getting everything I need to set up my own darkroom for an absolute steal!
As I was leaving with my new purchases, I jokingly said that I was just missing a camera now.... only for the lady who had sold me all the gear to tell me that she had one that she wasn't using- a Mamiya 645.
After a bit of negotiation, we decided on a price, and I had picked up another bargain!

I'm around Stoke for the next 4 weeks and plan to get cracking on some more images, hopefully adding to the Peak District series, and then when I emigrate (to Sussex!), begin a new set of pictures.
