Occupation: Retired Software Engineer

Interests: Life

Biography: I have been interested in photography since I was 14. In that time I have used many cameras, Zenit, Practica, Minolta, Canon, Olympus and a few others. My favourite was the Canon Pelix which had a stationary mirror and you had to increase the exposure by 1/2 stop to accommodate.

I lived in Canada from 1974 to 1985 and came back to live in the UK. I had lost interest in photography for many years but have now decided to "get back into it" because of the digital age.

I'm not into brands, I just use a camera to photograph things that I see and appeal to my sense of seeing.

Spent the last 1/4 of 2023 recovering from a collapsed lung and decided to clear out all my Canon equipment. Made enough to get myself an Olympus OM-D E-M1 II to go along with the OM-D E-M5 II. Still using my older Tamron Adaptall and Canon Prime lenses though.
