I am an amateur photographer. Trying to learn and relearn for the past four decades. Still practise film photography from time to time. Feel that taking pictures is probably next only to my deep affection for my family. Have managed to facilitate the love of photography into my children’s lives. I look up to many for inspiration. Every picture I ‘make’ leads me to some corner of the mind. Wish I could make more than the mindless snapping I sometimes indulge in nowadays with the advanced technology at my beck and call. I owe so much to my Uncle who gave me a rangefinder at the age of twenty. Thanks to Mark, from Whanganui, NZ, I have had a new insight into monochrome photography, since my arrival here in NZ in 2017. Happy making images..thanks.
