I have been doing photography as a hobby off and on for 40 years. For most of that time I have taken holiday snaps and family pics, with a few periods of more creative work in between.

I am generally B+W oriented with a slightly abstract style, and my stock in trade seems to be reflection and distortion. I am strangely attracted to sparkly, shiny, reflecty things. It's a medical condition and I'm having treatment....

I don't use Photoshop or similar program but instead use a basic Picture Manager which allows me to crop photos (not too much!) and fiddle with contrast and brightness, pretty much what we used to do in the darkroom.

Please don't be offended if I don't reciprocate as a contact or reply to your comments. Life gets a little busy at times and in case you have wondered about the call sign, I am a huge fan of both the Eagles and Australian soccer.

If you want to get a quick impression of what I do have a look at my Flickriver:
