The galleries will be progessively added to and will display previously unpublished images taken mainly in the 1960 - 1973 era. There are well over 1,000 images on file mostly in 35mm transparency format.

Some earlier images were taken on negative and represent some of the earliest photographs I'd taken with cameras such as Kodak Brownie, Instamatic, Brownie Starlet, Braun Paxette and later with Pentax / Nikon. Many of the earlier negatives have been lost or have faded beyond repair. Some of the images have been scanned from remaing prints and negs and are of poorer quality. In some cases they are only suitable as low resolution JPG files and have been included because of their rarity or interest. Many of these have suffered over time from ageing and have been meticulously digitally restored.

The 35mm slides in the collection are generally in better condition. Higher resolution 300dpi / 20-33mb versions are progressively being scanned, digitally restored where needed and archived to CD. They are available for commercial and in some instances for non-commercial use in other collections.

Also in the collection are a number of negatives and transparencies of unknown origin which will be added in time, hopefully.
