I am retired living in the English Midlands. Photography and drumming are my main hobbies.

I have owned and used Mamiya and Fuji medium format and Pentax 35mm slr cameras back in the film days.

Started abandoning film when I bought an Alpha A100 just after Sony launched the camera. I have enjoyed using an Alpha A700 since March 2008.

I changed systems in December 2010 to Nikon cameras which have proved great photographic tools.
