It’s always been the case that wifey and I can stand side-by-side and take completely different pics, this is a case in point, while she was pointing her camera up, I was pointing mine down!

A pic from the Analogue Wonderland Big Film Photowalk 2026 in Sheffield in June.

I took two cameras, the Contax T2 and a Nikon F2S (the latter loaded with Kentmere 200). It was an enjoyable day, we even had time for a couple of pints in the Kelham Island Tavern!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

11 years ago it was this somewhat neglected corner of Derby…

Pics of W.E. Savage have appeared on the blog before, here and here but I don’t think I’ve published a pic of the ‘Glam Boutique’ pinup before.
