Hi Peeps, I'm 66 and reside in Essex, UK, just by the Thames, my interests are motor cycling (current bike is a Yamaha Vmax 1200 V4), fishing (sea fishing), shooting (shot guns) and of course photography.
I like old architecture, churches, cathedrals, castles and the like. I'll sieve through the years and see what I can up with.
My day to day camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC LZ3, quite a nice little pocket size, my other camera is the Fuji 6900, but can be a little bulky. hope to meet you through the posts

Small world Alan. I sailed for five year in the merchant navy (BP Tankers) as an electrical engineer and paid off at my last port (Canvey Island) and went home to my folks in Elm Park. I remember Grays as I used to pass it on my way to the Dartford tunnel going to Brands Hatch in Kent for the racing.
Hope you got a few freebie pints, rewiring the pub.
You will love this site. An absolute ton of very knowledgeable and helpful folks. :-D
