Interested in photography, music (mostly guitars and piano), aviation, film-making and the great outdoors.

I have been back on Flickr for almost 13 years, having previously been on from 2003 - 2011. In the past, I tended to grow the photostream by around 30 images per year. I would sometimes cull images if I felt they no longer fitted the collection. More recently, perhaps due to my limited use of other social media sites, I have added more photos but have changed to keep many of them amongst my Flickr friends, whose input I appreciate in terms of comments but also the inspiration I derive from their work. It is likely that my photos will be increasingly switched to friends and family, as I am totally fed up with Flickr's random explore algorithm and the barrage of likes and bot-comments that follow being awarded that status.
