Among other things, I am an amateur cartoonist. So, I see my life in pictures (Gift or curse? I don't know.), whether it be of the mind, or external influences. I have always had a yearning for photography, feeling that I would have another medium besides, what I place on paper with my long term friends, a pencil and paper. Now I have another companion, my trustee Canon SLR, which, I might add is quickly becoming an unsightly growth under my right arm. (Surgical removal looks a definite possibility.) People may wonder why I opted for the SLR and not the digital alternative. Price was a factor, but not the main. I liken to the principle of chance, a lottery, so to speak, knowing that you have taken the shot, but not knowing the outcome. This is all part of my emerging fascination with this new and exciting medium. So, when it is time to develop, comes that moment of apprehension as to the possibility of your rewards. Time to find out if that one shot, overall the rest on the film has done you justice. ( Not always the case, I might add!) I would be more than grateful for any feedback on my work. Good or bad. How else will I learn, if not by being taught! So, please don't spare me and get the gloves off. I have no favourite themes, as such. But, tend toward the wildlife aspect. Yet, I will shoot anything that catches my eye, so to speak. Beauty is predominately, in the eye of the beholder, but more than skin deep. So, so be it...
