My favourite things to photograph are:

- Myself (so vain!)

- Cemetery statuary

- Wilting flowers

- The interiors of old churches

Why yes, I am an ex-goth.

Below is my old gear list. Most of it was stolen when my flat was burgled in 2008, except for the tripod and monopod. I have now sold my soul to Canon.

- Olympus E-300 digital SLR camera body (8 megapixel)

- Zuiko 50 mm f/2.0 macro lens

- Zuiko 14-45 mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom lens

- Zuiko 40-150 mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom lens

- Manfrotto tripod & monopod

My current gear list:

- Canon 70D camera body

- Canon 50 mm f/1.8

- Canon 100 mm f/2.8 macro

- Canon 28-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom

- Tokina 12-24 mm f/4 zoom

I class myself as a dedicated amateur without aspirations to turn professional. I'm happy to make new friends on Flickr.
