I was born in Essex, England in 1930 and acquired an early interest in photography from my father who was very keen AND very good. I used to love standing in his darkroom and watching images materialize in the tray! Betty and I were married in Blackpool in 1956 and recently celebrated our 51st anniversary.
My cameras have been many and varied, started with the ubiquitous box brownie and progressing through a VPK (vest pocket kodak, which I still have). My first 35mm camera was a Petrie, from where I graduated to a Yashika SLR. then a Nikon F4 and Mamiya 645, both of which Betty and I used in our Portrait and Wedding photography business.
We retired in 1995 and immediately got on to the internet. My first digital was a Kodak DC 25 of less that 1 megapixel, then a Kodak DC4800, an Olympus C750UZ (an excellent 4 mp camera that I still carry around as a back up) and finally my pride and joy, a Sony DSCR1 – 10.3 mps and a 24-120 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lens with a ND4 filter. Living as we do so close to the Indian Ocean in Western Australia I tend to specialise in seascapes and beach photography but am a sucker for roses and also the great wildflowers that are in profusion every spring in our state
