In 2010 I decided to start taking photos with my collection of film cameras, using a different one each week. After 10 years, and 522 cameras, I brought the project to a close. I have been writing a regular column about it in the UK magazine "Amateur Photographer" since 2011.

photo from week 157 - Praktica IV
I could feel something was amiss after about 20 exposures, and then the wind on kept turning but the feeding cassette spool stopped rotating, which means the film has broken, or at the very least the sprocket holes have been shredded. I put the camera away and took it home to explore in my changing bag, where sure enough the film was completely torn. This is the last fragment which was a photo of the "Greekt Temple" at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
