My latest Buddy Icon is from our last trip to Northumberland and was actually taken by, Bev [my lovely and long suffering Wife] as we took shots of the sunset at Bamburgh Castle! I am 50 years old. A Scaffolder by trade for 27 years, I recently spent 9 months out of work and due to health problems and job availability, have now taken a job in a care home for people suffering from Senile Dementia. My spell of unemployment led to me digging out my camera, at my wife's suggestion - bless her! Having digital cameras now means I can take 20 pictures to get my "Happy shot" without the expense of processing! I've got to say that I'm so happy to have started taking pictures again - I've seen so many wonderful things and even managed to get a, half decent, shot or two! Photography has been an on-off passion over the years - I would love to leave just one decent image behind me before I die! I've been away from photography for some time but long term unemployment leaves you with a void to fill and due to the enjoyment I've gained from Flickr and all the new friends I've made whilst here, I'm definitely back to stay!
My shots are available as prints, if any do grab your interest, please just contact me on Flickr or at dave_cappleman@btinternet.com and I'll send you an e-mail with details.

"Dave has been part of my little list of contacts but i count him as a friend now. He is known to me as ( the mushroom man) as he is an artist in the photography circles i see, with his wonderful mushroom portrayals. He is also in the caring profession and we all seem to be drawn together. Dave was the 3rd person on my list that worked or works caring for people who are ill both Mentally and Physically.
What an absolute star to go from Scaffolding to Savoir of the fragile Dementia sufferers.
I am always pleased to see his comments and replys and most of all his images on screen. They are an absolute delight. Especially the ones of Northumberland ( great holiday memories from the past)
Thank you for ALL your help and guidance as i am improving day by day with your help.
