I now live Grantham in Lincolnshire (East Midlands) England. Before that, and in no particular order, I lived in Hemel Hempstead, London, St Albans, Scarborough, Rickmansworth, and Brighton among other places.

I have been interested in cinema and theatre architecture all my life, and have recently started on church architecture (although I am not religious) and stately homes. I am also a cat person. Fairly late convert to digital photography but now passionate about it!

An almost life-long Olympus / OM System user (a present of an Olympus Trip 35mm started me off), I currently have:-

As I have accumulated several thousand images on my photostream, which can put off viewers, I have created a small set of images (maximum 30 photos) that I am pleased to have taken - if you wish to judge whether to make me a contact, this is probably the place to start!
