Being retired has released a creativity in me that was barely noticeable in my working life. A photography course at Open University has given me a better range of knowledge and skills, tho' I remain at heart a snapper not a 'Photographer' but with an eye for the effects of light on a picture and on its composition, with (nearly) all my pics hand-held.
UPDATE: Due to old-age and decrepitude I have retired from making serious photography.
