I took my first picture age 9 (close to 69 years ago) at Symonds Yat railway station with my mother's Brownie Box camera. I have been through a succession of cameras and formats and now shoot with an Olympus OM-D E-M1. I have enjoyed joining photography courses run by the Toronto (where I now Iive) District School Board, Learn4Life programme. I enjoy the input of teachers and the encouragement of group members.
