Hi,

If you have been kind enough to comment on my photos or select one as a favourite, thank you! Please accept my apologies if I don't get round to reciprocating or thanking you personally.

 

If you are looking at this after I have made a comment on one of your photos, please accept my apologies if all I have managed to say is something rather brief and banal like, "cool", "great shot" or "nice" but sometimes I just like pictures and can't put the reason why into words.

 

I'm in my 50's and live in West Sussex. I have CFS/ME among other things, so my participation in groups on flickr can be a little erratic and if you send me a message you may not get a response immediately.

 

Although the photo's I post here do reflect my interests to a certain extent, trains, cars, planes, and the like are easier to take a reasonable picture of than nuthatches, snipe, and water voles etc. So the quantity of photos on any given subject does not necessarily reflect the degree of my interest in it.

 

For many of my photos I have higher resolution files available and am usually happy to provide them to people who ask nicely.

 

Portraits.

I do sometimes take candid shots of people I don't know, and occasionally digitise some of the portraits I took on film years ago, where I am not in touch with the people any more. If I have posted a picture of you, and you strongly object to it being here, please contact me.
