Both Greg and I (Eivind) were in Blackpool the 19th to 21st of November for the North West Film Fair at the Grand Hotel. It was such an great event. We spent the whole weekend talking to other collectors. And for for me this is what it is all about, having some time to share hour hobby and meet old and new friends.

It is hard to believe, but our project has now been online for a full year! Sometimes I feel it was almost yesterday that we announced our project, but other times it feel ages ago since so many things has happened.

We have reached the end of November. Here in Norway where I live, the sunset is now at 4pm and it is completely dark from 6pm, a clear sign that the winter is right around the corner. Although I miss the summer, I look forward to the long dark evenings, perfect for watching films.
Someone asked at the Reel Magic Film Forum what would get a better result; a modern mobile phone or a scanner from a few years back. I found the question quite interesting, so I grabbed a cover and tried both, and here you can compare the results.
