Growing up we always had a family camera, an old Kodak. I got my own camera when I was 15 (1962), a 35mm Voigtlander Vitessa. My main photography interests were nature and sport but are now mainly street and urban landscape, plus anything that takes my fancy. These days, I don’t take pictures to win prizes, I take what I like for my own pleasure. I was one of the first members of the Camera Club to attain a CPAGB in 2013. My bird images can be found in over 5 handbooks and had a cover picture for the Ornithology of the Middle East magazine and still get requests for images.
