Graphic designer and photographer based in the South of the UK.

Started photography in 1986 and my interests cover a wide range of subjects, this Flickr account is for railway based subjects.

My non-railway photograph, covering a wide range of themes and styles, can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/davekirwin/

Got my first camera - a Pentax P30 - around 1986 when I started earning a wage, working for the railway.

Learned all I could about 35mm photograph by trial and experiment, expensive considering the cost of processing and film! A Pentax MX50 (35mm) arrived in 2001 and was replaced by my first digital in 2006, a Fuji Finepix 9500. Dissatisfied with its abilities, I bought a Canon 400d the following year. This soldiered on until 2014 when I went full frame with a Canon 5D mkiii and finally I went mirrorless in 2022 with a Canon EOS R6.

I have been lucky enough to be published in print for various book, magazines and internal communications including Bachmann and GBRf.
