I started playing with black and white photography as a child, joining my father in the dark room to witness the magic of the emerging image. I somehow managed to create a dark room space wherever I went including a memorable one in the X-ray department of an African mission hospital.
  
Digital photography appealed and after an early Ricoh followed by a Canon 300 D, I was sold on the process.
  
I take my photos more by the inspiration of the moment than by careful planning. Portraits are usually spontaneous and often grabbed. I love to photograph while travelling and the tiny picture on the back of the camera generates pleasure and thanks.
  
I enjoy the challenge and especially the learning process and through the club have increased enthusiasm to improve.
