Hello people :-)
All of these photos (in their original form) are taken with my mobile phone, many of them on my current MotorolaV9 (alas, only 2MP). Most I then edit in some form until I like what I see (or feel).
I began my love affair with photography over 25 years ago. After a few years going at it, I made a decision to stop serious photography for quite a long time as I had reached a point that I couldn’t look at anything without sizing it up as a potential photo, and therefore couldn’t just ‘be in the moment’. I’m all cured now :))
I had (still have) an SLR and various lenses that are now sitting gathering dust as it’s too expensive to run. Therefore, I’m trying to save my pennies for a digital SLR, but the going’s slow, so meanwhile I must stick with the mobile phone! I’ve also become a devotee of Photoshop and other editing software – god love ‘em!
I hope you enjoy my images, as much as I do making them.
