Creatively I can be inspired or frustrated. Who knows until the sun rises - or sets? I can not sing, play an instrument, draw or paint so writing and photography are my outlets. My substantial body of work, now in excess of 39000 images (December 2024) spans multiple genres, is mostly documentary and occasionally artistic.

My photostream includes scanned negatives and slides which are mostly but not exclusively of transport subjects with tranches from the 1980s and 1990s. I believe these are an important record and hope people enjoy my sharing them.

I hope to become one of Flickr's most prolific contributors but in so doing remain highly varied and worthwhile. I don't 'dump' on the site, posting only images which I want to be seen either on my own behalf or in one of the countless interesting groups on the site.

I try to ensure that all photographs are pertinently titled, tagged and captioned and that all are in relevant sets and groups. I am constantly working to improve my photostream as I am aware that my early uploads were initially not as well annotated as they might have been. Finally I hope to encourage my contacts through positive comments as I am encouraged by them.

My work appears on Facebook, Flickr, ipernity and SmugMug and has been published in diverse and unexpected places.

Equipment

I like to work with a variety of compacts and bridge cameras with a phone as a back up. I currently have:

Panasonic FZ330 - very capable

Panasonic TZ70 - also very capable

Fujifilm X20 - wonderful

Nikon D5300 - heavy
