yamstar1's photostream

I'm a retired museum manager and curator but also qualified as an archaeologist. Did lots of other things too motorway construction, fork lift truck driving, all sorts of things. Used a camera a lot in my work (for recording objects) and when digital and photoshop appeared used those at work too. I can't draw and I can't paint so to fill in the dark days of winter I thought I'd do a bit of photography. Unfortunately I seem to have become addicted.
