I have been fascinated by photography for as long as I can remember. I got my first camera when I was about 11, a little “point and shoot” Agfamatic with a big orange button to operate the shutter.

When I began my first job, I splashed out on a Zenit E, a solid Russian made 35mm camera with a great 50mm f2 lens. The camera was completely manual, not an auto-anything in sight - and so my education on how to take photographs really began!

In my forties, now using a Minolta SLR, I enjoyed developing and printing my own black and white photographs - then along came digital and everything changed.

Now in my late sixties and retired from full-time work, I can make photography a bigger part of my life - and share my pictures with the world - hence this website.
