Been into taking photos for a long time. My first camera was a Minolta X-700 round about 1982. Seeing photos is always with me - something thats there 24/7. I never tire of it as an interest and hobby. Kind of an escape I guess. Enjoy both film and digital depending on what way the wind is blowing. Probably more of a compact camera type of guy - rarely seem to grab for the big SLR these days. Love Leica's. Live in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
