The Original Tubthumper's photostream
|
Shorter than average, and prone to delusions of grandeur. My only claim to fame is that I had a great-aunt who helped invent polystyrene. In his professional capacity, my dad photographed the original Dulux dog. I have since photographed my mother-in-law's old English sheepdog, Muffin. As scientists have yet to show that a proclivity for shooting large, shaggy canines is a genetic trait, I put that one down to mere coincidence.
I currently share my time between battling the forces of entropy and disorder, and providing food and lodgings for my wife and two daughters. Both daughters have never really known Daddy without a camera surgically grafted onto his right hand. The present Mrs Tubthumper has been photographed almost as many times as Bigfoot. The similarity ends there: she's gorgeous.
At the last count, it was Tubthumper 3, forces of entropy and disorder, nil.

"In my book the one and only Tubthumper. All other Tubthumpers are cheap imitations and not fit to wipe the glass of T.O.T.
What this man doesn't know about taking a portrait isn't worth knowing.
When it comes to portraiture, Andy not only thinks outside the box, he doesn't even know there is a box.
Is that £5 worth yet?
