I,m John. Retired. I was very interested in photography in my late teens and early 20s, owning a trusty Zenit E camera and developing and printing my own photos but then life, work and kids got in the way and the camera became an instamatic for family snaps.

Its only since retirement that I have had chance to indulge in a bit of travel and to get the camera out again. I was introduced to Flickr by an old friend and to be honest I was somewhat intimidated by the general quality of photos on here, seeing myself as something of a rank amatuer but then thought "why not?" if I like a photo I take I,ll share it on here. It might not always be technically accomplished but if I like it, who knows someone else might enjoy it too, and if not, no harm done.
