Photography has always interested me since I was a young boy growing up.
My journey into the world of photography started in 1973 when I bought a Boots instamatic camera which used a cartridge of 35mm film. Wasn’t the greatest of quality but it got the ball rolling. I then used a couple of range finder cameras along a Twin lens Reflex camera shooting on 120 roll film. This gave me 6cm x 6cm which was good when I used to do my own processing and printing.
I made the switch to digital in last couple of years and i currently use Nikon gear with no intention to change. I still have and use occasionally a Mamiya 645 camera for medium format negative and transparency work.

Sports photography was one area that I was keen on looking at the photos in the newspapers as they caught the atmosphere of the game in film. Most of them were black and white.

I used to do a lot of walking so landscapes fascinate me depending on the season of year as the colours of the leaves on the trees would change.

In the last few years street photography is something I have tried and enjoy.

All in all photography is a very creative art and can allow a lot of experiments with light and film types as well as digital.
