If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

Petrova Fossil was my childhood heroine -from Noel Stretefield's "Ballet Shoes". She wanted to drive fast cars & fly planes - and would definitely never have worn pink!

My photography is my diary and therefore some is a positive effort to record the colours and shapes in front of me and some is a random record of things I enjoy and want to share.

My main interests in no particular order are - modern architecture -glass & concrete, manchester, the peak district, my dolly darlings collection and lots and lots of colour and abstracts.

I use an Olympus OM-D, OM-1, Sony Nex5, various Zenits and a collection of Lomos.

I hope you enjoy my efforts -

I have happily shared my photos and give full size images -but please ask and give me credit. Thank you

And with most things I do - I'm definitely old enough to know better.
