Yes, my mom did have an "eye".  She even developed her own film in the bathroom, so she told me, though I never saw her do it...she stopped when four kids came along.

Colour film from the 1960s and the early 1970s. Sorry I don't have any of my B&W anymore.

Derelict London gets in. The Northern Line really was like that- although, to be fair, the trains now are as old as those ones were in 1979. Seems like a long time ago anyway..
