I am a retired Civil Servant ,married with a daughter who can be seen in my photostream usually wearing a straw hat,(she is now 17 and a music student) and a beautiful wife who also features, particularly in vintage photos from the 1970s. I am an ex Pro Photographer. (My studio was in Cullercoats) I am a military veteran and served with RAF Regiment for 9 years I am now a Local Historian, and a known expert on Zeppelins, Photographic Artist & historian, photographic restorer, Webmaster and web designer. collector of (the humble) photographic snap, vintage cameras and ephemera. I am an avid pinholer and stereo (3D) enthusiast. I love making movies, I started in 1962 with an 8mm Yashica Movie Camera. I love old film cameras and have a collection of approx 140. I do all my own processing.

It is just as well I am retired as I haven't the time to go to work. :))
