My English grandad, Frank Martin was a street photographer after the Second World War. When my dad emailed a picture of Frank to me with his 'made in Liverpool' camera, I decided to put up a web page describing the start of his photographic career based partly on my recollections of his stories, but mainly on the information provided by my father.

My next step is to scan some images of his photographic and darkroom supplies shop that served the people of Dalston, Hackney and, via mail order, the world so I can make a page to keep the memory of this little shop alive.
