I didn't realise that Phyllis used a plate camera. That makes her even more amazing

oh yes mike her hundreds of photos were all on glass plate...remarkabe work... such a pity that she died relatively young...she could have gone on for many more years...but we must be grateful for what we have of her work..

I have worked with glass plates, interesting but long winded.
Good evening everyone.
I was looking forward to an Ostrich Burger in Solihull earlier. But they were so small and certainly not worth a fiver.
