I've always had a camera from the age of around 15, I class myself as an enthusiastic amateur with a liking for grungy buildings, street photography Black and White stuff and anything in between. I moved to Dumfries and Galloway from Doncaster in 1995 with my wife Maggie, We lived for a short time near Borgue at Westmost Cottage Knockbrex. Then a move to Dairy Cottage at the Brockloch Farm near Crocketford, we lived there for 15 years. I retired in 2008. In 2013 we moved to our present home in Dalbeattie where we enjoy our retirement taking holidays in our rust and white Sprinter Campervan, and of course taking pictures.
