John Rosanowski Was told years ago,by an old Blackball miner ( Old Les Neilson.) Who knew him when he worked in Blackball that he did in fact run a string from the camera to his finger, sometimes
a quiet complex track. you will notice that in most of photos he has his hand visible on his hip .

Thanks, Tubby.

How did Jos manage to get into the photos ? He never seems to be holding a string. Time elapse ?? How did it work ??
