West Yorkshire Cameras Staff Interviews: Steve Boylin

'The ‘click, click, click’ of shooting digital meant I couldn’t slow down and focus. When I discovered film, I enjoyed the process of stepping back and slowing down.'

Continuing our series of staff interviews is none other than our resident scouser, Steve. In this interview, Steve explains to us how he got into film photography, his developing process and how you can still take great photos on a battered old Rolleicord.

West Yorkshire Cameras Staff Interviews: Adam French

'I’ve been constantly taking photos of everyone and everything for as long as I could afford a camera to build up a large record of life around me.'

As I’m sure you’ve heard at some point over the year, 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of Leica. There have been a few commemorative videos from various companies, all of which are a great watch.

If you’re around in Hamburg between 24th October 2014 and 11th Jan 2015, head over to Deichtorhallen and check out the 100 years exhibition they have on.

Below are some of the videos, with each one taking a slightly different viewpoint to the other as seen by different companies and people.

Here’s to another 100 years.
