'The Darkside of the Moon' by Richard Riding

I liked your story of Kennard. It reminds me of a story about Tom Harrison. Apparently, shortly after he started working with Keith as a stills assistant Keef took him into the darkroom to show him how to load 10 x 8 colour film into slides. He showed him how to do it, with the lights on, and then told him to practice it with his eyes shut - which Tom did, perfectly. The whole of the next day was taken with Keef shooting loads of 10 x 8 colour food shots and at the end of the day all the sheets were sent off for processing. No surprise then when the sheets were all returned, blank. Tom had loaded and unloaded all the sheets perfectly correctly, but with the lights on!
