He said he has the ver first verson of the Fuji 100, and had owned it for a decade, he said it was a very robust camera. He said he was visiting from Saltaire for the weekend, and that he had grown up in Caistor. I said how much I loved Saltaire and how in 2016 I exhibited the Park Hill project at the Artist&#8217;s Trail there. He lives in the same road I exhibited in. I mentioned I grew up in Chelmsford and he said he knew the place well because his mother had grown up there, and it turned out his mother&#8217;s sister was the same age as myself and it is likely we were at the same school as each other. His name was Finn and he is in the orange jacket above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Click the video below to watch it<\/h2>\n\n\n<div
