My mum used to clean for an elderly man.If I was off school she took me with her--how boring was that for a 8 year old, who was told to sit still.. One day I looked under a cushion in the cottage kitchen and found some photographic magazines mixed up with his gardening books.
That's how I got the bug. I think photographers are born.
When I was 14 my older sister married a man my dad called an 'anorak with a camera.
That was in the 50s, and I've 'messed about' ever since, Belong to 3 clubs -one I started myself.
I loved darkroom, especially black and white-- still use film but print digitally.I was introduced to Shuttertalk when I visited London Camera Exchange in Leamington-Spa where I purchased my new baby, Sony NEX 5R to go with my older Canon and Olympus models.
