BODIES IN THE BOOKSHOP – REVISITED

A week ago, we posted an article about our recent visit to Cambridge.
“Bodies in the Bookshop” at Heffers was a wonderful event for readers and writers of crime, we said, but unfortunately we didn’t have any snapshots.
I (Mike) admitted that the fault was mine. I had left our camera in London...
Well, the appeal did not go unheeded.
Yesterday we received an email from crime-icon Mike Ripley (see his latest “Getting Away with Murder” at http://www.shotsmag.co.uk/columns/ripley/ripley0810.html, and Mike generously provided us with photos from his enormous archive, together with a note entitled “Never Throw the Negatives Away.”
We are touched and immensely grateful.
ps: While the days of photographic negatives are long past, it is worth remembering that the 175th anniversary of the invention of the photographic negative by William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) is being celebrated at the Fox Talbot Museum in Lacock, Wilts, from 3 July – 12 December, 2010.
Don’t miss it, all you crazy photo-historians!
