Having started photography at nine with a Kodak Brownie, Got keen and studied at the Regent St Poly for 4 years obtained City& Guilds Worked in retail and a darkroom doing Commercial and Industrial plus the bread and butter Weddings for which I bought a Hassleblad the perfect tool for the job and started using Nikon in 1965 perfect for wildlife and Travel work long lenses and less expensive. I moved to work and live in the Middle East - whilst in Bahrain tRoyal Photographic Society Membership and further opportunities to see more of the World through a viewfinder came ,28 Countries was my tally before leaving the UK and being a days flight away I continued adding East Africa the Wildlife Paradise that I had to find a position there it was Tanzania and spent time setting and running Photo Safari's as well as setting up the Avis location then in Kenya and Uganda. Today it's 78 Countries some into double figures. I was knocked for 6 when Digital came along to become the best thing since the Camera Obscura and I updated the Nikon D200 to a Fuji S5Pro and a second back up Fuji S5Pro. The Best secret kept by its users I always keep a compact that I take everywhere i go you never know when a shot will present its self It would come useful in case of a Car accident a photo provides evidence words are of little use in a dispute . Please feel free to leave some comments at the pictures or contact me. Enjoy looking at them as I did taking them
