I'd like information regarding my father please. It's been a long journey to find him and sadly we didn't meet.

I worked for Derek in his studio in Subiaco during 1966, 67, 68. I was a teenager and he taught me all there was to know about hand processing, long before the digital age. Regards, Elayne Greaves (need Corn) ex Fairbridge girl.
