===Why flickr?===

Didn't like film.
.

But digi Canons became affordable. Hurrah!
.

Won a photo comp in the NME with a teeny digishot from Glastonbury!


But frustrated by shutter lag etc, bought an unaffordable Canon dSlr.
Got a photo of Coate Water in the Independent.


But, in general, even I wasn't looking at my photos....

Then (in 2007), finally got to tour Europe.
.
Signed up to flickr to share the photos with relatives.

Dumped all the old stuff on.


Met some great contacts.

Joined Car Memories & Guesses.
.

And UNESCO World Heritage Sites.


Photo'd some bands.


Indulged my gothic side.


Got invited to increasingly obscure groups.


And to a wedding in India.


Took a photo in Mumbai
.
"Good shot" said Jeevan Balwant of Mumbai.

Picked up a "stone"...

...to ask why he didn't take more local photos. Noticed my "glass walls".


So I started getting out more locally, mainly photo'ing buildings to start with.


But the Swindon and listed building groups were quiet.
So I started (Officially) England's Best Buildings.


And spent about a million hours on it.

Meanwhile, passed 100,000 (333,333) 'views' and 1000 (2000) views on one photo

And now there's a new Swindon group. Hurrah!
