I'm a hobby-and-holiday photographer whose snaps sometimes come out ok. Most are taken in Toronto, where we live, and Thailand, our home.

Until the end of March 08 I shot everything with an Oly C5050. So slow – endless shots of places where people, kids and cars used to be – yet still a great camera. Now the Sigma DP1 goes everywhere with me. The purest picture quality you could wish for in a pocket-sized black box.

I'm here on Flickr to have some fun, see what other people are up to with their cameras, encourage myself to shoot more, and learn how to do it more interestingly. Like this: www.flickr.com/photos/davidpratt/favorites/ One day, maybe...
