I am often seen out with a camera in hand, I like to take landscapes and get an unusual angle on common subjects.

Very much an amateur, just like taking photos.

My photostream consists of a variety of images, a lot of pictures taken at National Trust and properties listed with the Historic Houses Association around the country. A lot of my images are taken at local Steam Rallies, Country fairs and somilar events, also scans of old postcards and photos of the area where I live, interesting locations I have visited while on holiday, a record of village events for other members of the community to access whenever they want, and anything else that I think will make a good picture.

All of the images in my photostream are organised into sets to help you find pictures on particular subjects CLICK HERE to view all the sets

Using my images

Recently , on several occasions, I have discovered some of my images used as illustrations on websites, and I have not been contacted for permission to use the images.

Please do not copy any of my images for use in any publication or website if you have not asked me first.

In the majority of cases where the image is for personal use, a non-commercial website or charitable uses I will not normally have a problem with the image being used, BUT please ask me first.

If you want to use an image for a commercial publication I would expect to be offered suitable remuneration for the use of the image.

In all cases I would expect the image to be credited to me as follows.....

I was born in the Sussex village of Ticehurst and have lived in the Sussex village of Etchingham for many years. I have set up a group for old photographs and postcards of Etchingham called Bygone Etchingham and a similar group for Ticehurst called Bygone Ticehurst , I have recently added a similar group Hurst Green called Bygone Hurst Green contributions of pictures to all these groups are always welcome.

I always want to hear your comments on my photos {good or bad} especially if you have any suggestion that might improve a similar shot in the future. If you have any questions regarding the location of a picture, or want any other info on a picture - just ask.

Please DO NOT invite any of my images to group with a commitment to comment on, or give an award to another picture in the group for every one that you add. I comment on images that I like because i like them, not because I have to comment on another image just to add my picture to a group.

A selection of my pictures are available to purchase as cards, postcards and prints at RedBubble, click on the link below to find out more.
