Hi - and thanks for visiting.
I'm Simon, I'm 50 and I live in Darlington in a huge and beautiful Edwardian house which I bought the day before the credit crunch in April 2008. (Je ne regrette rien) I live alone with my dog Alfie but have friendly humans who visit often. I mostly work from home (research and consultancy) which means that I can listen to my music all day long...
I just finished a Self Portrait a Day on flickr. A love/hate thing. But I'm glad I did it.
I only recently acquired my first DSLR ( a secondhand D70 ) which I'm learning to love - especially with a 50mm lens.
You can also find me on PBase.
Here to learn - and I can't do that without your comments...

Stevie-B says:
"A pragmatic philosopher and talented lens-man, Menage combines these traits as one of the foremost social commentators of our time. Your life has been enriched by visiting his stream."

"A photogenic set of friends, and related to some really beautiful women and children is a great start for a photostream, but Simon has so much more. Here are some staggering landscapes of our beautiful county and a witty set of domestic photojournalism as he rebuilds his yard. Photography with warmth and wit, a stream to come back to again and again."
