60 years a photographic business on Croydon High Street

[GrahamL]

In case of interest two of my 'Enterprising Croydon' exhibition/project collaborators, Reg and Paul of High Street Radio & Photographic (294 High Street), are celebrating Reg's 60th year in business. The event is happening from 10.30 to 5pm Saturday, 30th November. A focus on Leica but anyone into shooting film will find items of interest. Small exhibition by Eric Hands too. Understand a cellar darkroom for hire is about to be launched too.

Thanks Graham.

I popped in for a while during the morning. Reg and Paul had quite a crowd in and I spoke to a number of people.

Here is a grab shot, given a suitably vintage look, of the occasion.

Nice rendition Mike.

I visited Reg's Photographic Shop after midday and stayed for rather a long while, joining in the party spirit with a couple of glasses of red wine.
Chatted to both Reg & Paul and had a few laughs with several of the photographic characters that were there to celebrate Reg's achievements. Took a fair few photographs while I was there.
Graham Land was there too.
