Professional musician playing organ and keyboards. Have been involved in research, development and design of keyboards and organs for many years as well as travelling to many parts of the world to promote the new models in concert or in demonstration.

 

I'm the ripe old age of 59, blimey am I really that age? I have a 17 years old daughter and I'm divorced. I do like to think I am young at heart though. I think most of us would like to admit to that to be truthful! I'm in a relationship with Ronni and she also has a love of photography.

 

A passion for photography started with a 5 shilling camera when I was in short trousers, this was followed by a Kodak Instamatic 25 and then a Polaroid Swinger! Then followed a series of 35mm SLR cameras from Praktica, Canon and Olympus and pockets that were always permanently empty after having bought yet another new lens!

 

Involvement with video began in 1980 and almost immediately I desired my own video camera. In those days the camera and video recorder were separate units each weighing around 7 tons which would make the shoulder ache after an hour or two! Batteries to keep them powered up were only slightly smaller than the size of a house brick but were probably heavier! My love of video and or hard drive/media card recording and video cameras continues to this day.

 

I moved over from film to digital in stills cameras in 2002. These days I use several Fuji compact and bridge models and a couple of Nikon DSLR's with a selection of lenses...the journey continues!
