I am a 49-year-old amateur photographer from Chester, Cheshire UK. I took up digital photograpy a couple of years ago after hitting 40. See it as my mid-life crisis. Unfortunately, unlike, say, forming a band, having a tattoo or buying a motorcycle I have come to realise that the particular hobby I have chosen as a means to escape the drudgery of the day job is probably one of the most expensive. On May 12th 2009 I spent a marvellous informative day with a professional photographer. This has prompted me to take my photography more seriously and, although I don’t expect it to lead to a career change, maybe sell or license some of my images so that I can fund my hobby. I hope you like the images I post and please feel free to comment. All constructive criticism is welcomed.

All my images are available for licensing. If you would like to use one contact drop me a line on mrnelson@talk21.com

Some of my flower pictures are available as greetings cards here: greetings.photobox.co.uk/designer/3008552
