About Chris Lord

Photography has been an obsession since I was 13 years old and went off to Italy clutching my mother’s accordion style 1940s roll film camera. I’ve been fooling with computers since I bought an Amiga 1000 back in 1985. My first chunky pixelized images were digitized into that machine using a black and white CCTV camera. At last, with today’s software and hardware I feel that I can create the images I see in my mind’s eye.

    Welcome to Peony Perfection, Chris, wow, this is beautiful. Is there a Peony this color, or did you make it blue, whatever, it’s excellent photography!

  • Thank you so much for the welcome and compliments. It is very encouraging. Everybody on RB these last few weeks here has been so warm, makes one feel right at home.
