A Return to Film Photography
My name is Bartek and I live in the United Kingdom. After more than twenty years away from film photography, I returned to the cameras, lenses and darkroom process that first inspired me.
ThroughOldGlass is where I share photographs made with vintage cameras, traditional film and classic lenses, together with camera reviews, film tests and stories from every roll.
