My interest in photography came from playing with my dad’s old black and white kit.
I have been trying to write this post for a while and last year I made a great discovery which forced me to update my original version with this post which has a lot more authenticity, as you will see. In the previous version I used a stock image from the internet to illustrate the […]

Present, with one eye on the future.
Serendipity. That’s the word. And a happy accident is exactly what losing my spectacle lens was. You have probably suspected that I have had a screw loose for quite some time and, a couple of months ago, this turned out to be an accurate prophecy when the screw dropped out of the right hand side […]
