About Me

Well - about me huh? Well - I take photos - lots of photos. My current passion for Photography has it's roots way back when I was a wee nipper and my Dad gave me an old Agfa Isolette II folding camera and started muttering about magical things called apertures and shutters.My interest waxed & waned several times over the years but saw an upsurge a few years ago when, due to ill health, I was forced to give up a more physical hobby that had been my main drive for almost 30 years. I was left with a huge hole to fill - and Photography has fitted the bill very nicely :)Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Oooh - all sorts of people. I'd like to meet me in 20 years time to see if I've made it that far and to ask whether I ever managed to get my grubby mits on that Nikon 600mm F4 lens :)
