The Quiet Death Of The Video Tape

It’s always a little strange and ever-so-slightly unsettling to think something that’s changed our lives so radically has been written out of the present and into the history books.

In which, as the year comes to it’s end, our friends and collaborators look back and share their moments; 2008. A strange year in many ways. The fishing has been tremendous but I haven’t been on the bank enough despite the 2007 New Year Resolution to get out and fish a lot more. I console [...]
