It all started when I was 7 years old under a red light bulb in the kitchen doing my own processing - dad has a lot to answer for!

Became a metallurgist cum engineer with photographic roots there too, but nowadays a model maker and railway historian so archival photography has reared its head. It never ends, does it?

Principal hobbies have long been photography, railways, and mountains, so you know what to expect! Home is near Banbury in Oxfordshire.
