Many thanks to everyone who submitted images - as you will hear, we got some awesome stuff!

Ep.311: NorthWestFilmPhoto

Happy New Year everyone!

Just a few weeks ago, Dave and Benny set up NorthWestFilmPhoto - a group dedicated to film photography in the north west of England. They are just starting out and have already built a great Discord community and hosted a big photowalk.

Our conversation with the NWFP guys has loads of interesting stories and real excitement for something new that is kicking off in glorious (we hope) 2023!!!
