Camera: Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35 / Tessar 45mm f/2.8

Notes: I drove home from Newcastle today, stopping off on the way to visit my friend Victoria, who lives near Cambridge.

Title: M Is For Maker Space
Location: Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
Camera: Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35 / Tessar 45mm f/2.8
Film: Ilford HP5+ 400
Notes: We enjoyed meeting up with friends to celebrate Chinese New Year today, but the weather was pretty grotty, so I was reluctant to expose the Contessa to the rain. Instead I opted for photographing the M logo when we popped into Maker Space for a cup of tea on the way home.
