I'm what I consider a born again photographer. I was really into photography back in high school and college. I played around with developing B&W film and even had a small enlarger to process my own prints. I stopped shooting when my Nikon FE kept breaking on me and I haven't done much for the last 25 years or so. I bought myself a Canon XSi for Christmas 2008 in preparation for a trip with the kids to Paris. I didn’t know how to use the camera very well in France but was lucky enough I worked in London for a couple of months with two camera enthusiast co-workers. They taught me the basics and a lot about the functions and settings on the camera. One of them (www.flickr.com/photos/philurwin/) told me about flickr and got me started here.

Most of the pictures on flickr have been taken since that Christmas in 2008. There are however some older stuff that I have scanned in from old photos or negatives.

If you have looked through my photostream you will see that I have somewhat of an eclectic taste in photography. I carry my camera around with me everywhere I go and try to use it every day. I don’t think I could every make a living out of it but I do take construction photographs for my work and I’m a contributor to the Philly Soccer Page (www.phillysoccerpage.net/).

IT GENERALLY WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM BUT PLEASE DO NOT USE MY PHOTOS WITHOUT FIRST GETTING MY PERMISSION!

Thank you!
