Since the age of 14 years I have been a very keen photographer I remember saving all my pocket money for months to purchase my first SLR camera This was a Pentax S1a and cost about £68 including a good 50mm lens Back then in the 60's photography was a lot more complicated than today I spent hours in my darkroom developing black and white film and prints I was lucky as I had a spare room at home which was converted into a proper darkroom with an enlarger that could produce excellent 16 x 20 inch prints I remember the smell of developer and fixer which was always in the air How things have changed

Over the years I moved on from black and white prints to colour slides and have boxes of thousands of slides Today digital has taken over and now the world of photography is all based around the PC Gone are the days of trying to get a film into the developing tank by feel in total darkness Photography is faster, cleaner and does not smell

But at the end of the day it's never changed It's all about seeing a picture in your head and turning it into a great image, be it on a computer screen, on a website, or on a printed framed photograph

After all the years since purchasing that Pentax S1a I'm still hooked on taking photographs I hope you enjoy looking at some of them now
