“Going back to the first launch, when it came down the film was then sent back and I opened the dark bag and developed it at Arts University Bournemouth”, he says.<\/p>\n
“There was something on the negative, this kind of like pattern. I knew at that point that I’d achieved something literally unimaginable”.<\/p>\n
