Ironmonger's photostream  

I live in Sheffield England but born in Warwickshire, I am married and have two sons. Though I have not been doing digital photography that long I find this digital media and flickr very useful for storing and it’s a quick access to my photos. My job of which I have been doing since 1971 is an Architectural Ironmonger (hinges lock door closers signs pull handles etc), I prepare schedules from floor plan for Architects and Construction companies to DDA and Fire Regulation Standard, sounds boring but I have always found it interesting being involved and influencing design on many major project all over the UK.

I apologise in advance if I comment on your photo by way of a Poem I have written and inspired by your photo, this is just my way of complementing your work.
All my Poems are inspired and written for Flickr photos and occasionally re-used as a comment on other appropriate photos

If you like my plotos please look through my sets as I tend to post photos in large batches for sets and therefore do not get many comments on them but some are worth a look if the subject interests you

Ironmonger says:

I wish but to live life as a human being
to understand more of the views I'm seeing
to roam and to wander with my camera in hand
at the smallest of creatures to the great open land
the plants and the trees and the rocks of all kind
from the wide open spaces to the lanes that do wind
the mountains and rivers that flow to the sea
and nought could i think of that would have no interest to me
buildings to religion and those built for mirth
are all part of life's book and our time on this earth
the traffic and the trains taking people here and there
to the ships on the sea to the planes in the air
the free life of men may be limited by wealth
but working to hard is not good for your health
so whenever you can go to worlds you've not seen
and download to flickr all the places you've been

all my photos and poems are Copyright © and must not be used for commercial reasons without my written permission

Please do not put invites to groups on my photos unless the group is one of your own creation or you have a genuine interest in the photo subject , I have no wish to play the game of manipulating Explore that is blighting Flickr at the moment.

thanking you in advance.
