A little about me

I am a keen amateur photographer. I seek inspiration from travelling; nature; the local environment and any events I manage to attend. My photographic journey started when, as a child, I was given a Kodak Brownie 127. My early B&W efforts focused on family, the small town where I lived in mid Wales, and then tentative efforts at recording trips to Austria to visit my mother’s family.

I began to explore photography more widely in my late teens / early twenties. Processing B&W film in a makeshift darkroom; printing using a second hand enlarger; using colour reversal film and presenting endless slideshows to anyone prepared to watch; toying a little with colour negative, but never mastering the processing of colour films.

Fast forwarding to the emergence of digtal cameras and photography, the constaints I had felt disappeared over night.

Having retired, I am now able to fully indulge my passions for travel, photography, and the enjoyment of good food and wine.

By happy coincidence I can pursue most of these interests in parallel, most of the time!
