I have tried to put a large cross section of photographs on my flickr pages, some new, some not so new, many nostalgic, many memories. I've been taking photographs since 1960 when I was 11 and had my first camera, a Welsh-built Purma. Had many cameras since, kept many of them and also accumulated a large number of vintage ones along the way; lost count after 75!

Although I have a large number of vintage and not so old cameras, I currently use a Canon 6D which I love! My favourite lens for the full framed 6D has to be the excellent 14mm f2.8L, which gives outstanding and dramatic results. I also use the 17-40mm L series lens for most of my other photographs. Hope you enjoy my flickr pages!
