My
father started my interest in photography, at the age of 6 he started
letting me take a few snaps with his camera.
After
we had amassed a few films I would watch him devolving prints in the darkroom
and after a number of years the table was turned, he used to watch me.
Still giving advice as most fathers do!
I
had used my fathers camera mostly until I brought an Olympus OM1
and after a couple of years I got an OM2 as well. Over the next few years
I amassed a good selection of lenses for my Olympus cameras.
In
1998 I sold my Olympus gear and brought a Canon OM3 with a couple of USM
lenses, and then I started to replace the USM lenses to the professional
L series lenses.

I
had now been scanning my negatives with a Nikon Coolscan 5000 for a number
of years so you could say I was partly digital.
In
2005 I brought a Canon EOS 1Ds mk2; I decided to have the full frame camera
to keep all my lens ratios the same.
I
am interested in all types of photography but my favourites are landscapes
and Steam Engines.
Thanks
for looking
