My interest in photography was born in the seventies when my Chemistry Teacher Mr Griffin took a small group of pupils and taught us the basics of black and white developing and printing and took us on little Photo Safaris to take the snaps we would go back and develop . I came to digital after my first marriage ended via phones and bridge cameras before returning to SLR photography via a Pentax K-5 which brought me full circle as the first camera I bought myself was a Pentax ME Super .
