2005: I'm a Project Manager working for IBM in South Hampshire and thereabouts in the UK.
I spent a lot of my teens taking photographs, when it was a treat to have 36 pictures. First it was the Kodak Instamatic 126; then Dad bought me a Nikkormat FTN. I must have been very well behaved that year.

I've recently been reviewing a box of treasured prints and have put some up on Flickr. This has inspired me to look through my contact prints / negatives from then; I've found quite a few good images never before printed. Scanning the negative is easier than going in the darkroom!

I'm using Flickr as a repository of all my photographs since then, the 1970's. I include those which are most of what I've taken since then - family pictures. And this is rekindling my interest in photography so also I'm including non-family pictures I've taken over the years that I took because I enjoy photography.

Now, my treat is a Canon EOS 400D and me and my kids are getting back into photography.

As you can see.

2005: Members of my family get a flickr sign-on (it's free!) and see a lot more pictures. Go to www.flickr.com/photos/iandrake/ and click "sign-up".
