12) Progress

Right. How far have I actually got?

Anyway, the photos below show what progress I've made to Mid Dec 2003 (when I took the photos). I'll add more photos when I've finished the film I've got in my camera. And, yes, I do have a very low tech, entirely mechanical, SLR film camera - but I didn't make it myself! (I can't do optics, remember?)
