Hi Everyone!
Yes I am a flickr addict! I could spend days taking photos and looking at others, but sadly the real world requires me to pay it some attention!
Over the years my interest in photography has been up and down. At college I studied it twice, but apart from taking snapshots I kind of lost my way until something sparked my interest again. Then once I got my hands on a second-hand Canon 350D there was no stopping me.
I'm now re-learning all the things I did years ago when I had a film SLR and hopefully actually understanding things better now I'm more mature to understand it!
If this is your first visit to my stream, you might want to start with some of the pictures I like best first.

Wedding Ring Appearances
Started out when I noticed my wedding ring showing up in pictures becuase of it's shiny-ness. It's also a self-portrait group too.
52.2
I completed my first 52 weeks of self-portraits in 2008, so thought I would do the same again this year. I'm going mono this time though!
100 Strangers
I finally started this, but I think it might take me a while to get to the end. Check back in about 20 years!

"I can't believe that this guy doesn't have any testimonials yet...
If you haven't looked through Richard's photostream yet, I suggest you go there now. You will find some of the most amazing shots there. Whether he's dorking it up as a FuGgeR, taking self portraits, photographing animals, photographing children, photographing landscapes, objects, anything ... his pictures are incredible.
Plus, he's one of the nicest people on Flickr :-)"3rd November, 2008
