Hello -thanks for your curiousity.
At nearly 60 years old and about to give up the day job (or is it the other way round) I have enough time on my hands to get creative again. I first got seriously interested in photography when I won a school photo competition at age 11 using a Kodak Brownie 127. I think I won because at least I got the subject within the frame with a straight horizon - my schoolmates did not. apparently.
On leaving school my first employment was as a darkroom assistant. I also had a darkroom at home up in the loft space. It was a boilerhouse during the summer months and a freezer during the winter but somehow I produced reasonable results.
I had a complete career change when I was about 25 and a house move. With no access to a darkroom my interest in photography waned and was relegated to the level of holiday snapshots processed at the High Street store.
With the arrival of digital i became interested again. For a while I played around with a couple of secondhand "bridge" cameras. Whilst pleasently surprised by the quality that could be produced I just could not get on with electronic viewfinders -my eyes are not the best.
With a recent purchase of a Sony dslr I feel at home with my photography again - i still have old Miranda and Exacta film slrs gathering dust somewhere.
Hopefully Flickr will be one incentive amongst others for me to work on some projects and turn out some decent stuff again.
