      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Stopping off for a mid-morning coffee after dropping off some slide film to Vanbar for development, I noticed that if #Marios on Brunswick St in #Fitzroy can make it along for another four years it&#39;ll be 40 years old!

<p>The entryway hasn&#39;t changed – from 2005:</p>

<p>One strong memory is from when I bought my very first <em>brand new</em> film camera, in 2008 – a Bessa R4A with a 28mm lens – and my first photos with it were taken there after running into a couple of Flickr friends:</p>

<p>I since took other cameras there (2010):</p>

<p>But also took other lovely portraits outside other, nearby cafés – this one on Smith St in 2013:</p>
