I live in Leeds (England). Motorbike crash in ' 72 and now paralized from chest down. Married to Judith in 1976. Never bothered about cameras/photography until 2003 after I bought my first computer. I stopped doing archery after 25 years at a high level and bought a tiny compact camera! Then I got the bug, bought a Sony R-1 in 2006, An Olympus SP570 UZ in 2008 and I just bought a Nikon D5000 (June 2010).

May 2012 I added a Nikon D7000.

May 2013 I added a Nikon D7100 (sold the D5000)

July 2016 I added a Nikon D500

 

Update regarding my contacts

I am a friendly guy but please don't add me as a contact if you have no intention of commenting my stream from time to time. If you do add me and you haven't left a comment on my stream, I wont add you.If you don't participate I will delete you, I dont have time to waste on Flickr. I don't expect daily visits, but if you are adding pictures daily and accepting my time and comments daily yet don't reciprocate you will be deleted..If I find you copy and pasting comments on my stream and see the same on your other contacts pictures ... I will delete you.I enjoy visiting my contacts streams and that is where my time is spent.

Also, I rarely join groups so don't be offended if I decline any invitations to them.

Where do I begin with a testimonial for Tony? Do I begin with his wonderful talent for photography? Or, do I begin with his kind spirit, generous personality, and strong friendship? It's hard to know where to begin, as these things equally make Tony the wonderful person that he is. I realize that Flickr is a photography site, so I should focus on his photography skills (which are awesome, by the way), but I can't help but also focus on what a truly genuine and kind friend he is. When you look at his photos, they speak for themselves and show the talent he has, whether it be capturing the beauty of the world around him or documenting the harsh and cruel realities of Alzheimer's Disease. There's no doubt that he's talented. There's also no doubt that if you get to know him, you will be thankful you did, as he becomes a friend who never passes up a chance to make his flickr friends feel good about themselves and their work, regardless of what struggles he may have going on in his own life. Tony, you are an inspiration and a truly wonderful person. Thank you for being my Flickr friend!

I feel very privileged to consider Tony one of my best Flickr friends. He is loyal and supportive and has a wicked sense of humour. His wide-ranging portfolio clearly shows his excellent eye for composition and detail. His soul-bearing series portraying the demise of his beloved Mum to the curse of Altzheimer's is so powerful and emotive, yet so beautiful and dignified. This type of cutting edge photography demands a very exceptional talent which Tony is very fortunate to possess and which many of us can only dream of. His photostream is inspirational and I am so delighted to have become acquainted with it and the amazing talent behind it :-)

Tony is one of my most respected contacts, one of perhaps a dozen people who really embrace the spirit of Flickr. Some of his photos especially the ones dealing with Altzheimers are very personal and touching, his skill and thought are very evident. His portfolio is very varied and the quality of his photography far exceeds his own opinion, but we are all our own worst critics, there is however a great talent here. it is uncanny how we are very much alike in a lot of ways something that we have touched on in comments and correspondence. Keep up the fantastic work Tony and once again I am proud to have this guy as one of my friends. All the best Kevin.

I admire Tony's ambition and stamina, every shot has his dedication, and the visual quality which it deserves and as a result, it is always second to none. Tony is one of my most valuable contacts, because of his willingness to share ideas and criticize my images, and probably the one to helped me to slow down and think more carefully about what I'm doing both in editing and shooting. I also admire Tony's thinking, he has a way of making everything that seems complicated simple - and can find a solution to a problem in next to no time. Keep at it Tony, and here's to much more inspiration to me and no doubt many more of his contacts.
