I have been interested in photography along with wife
Carol for some 42 years.
Like many of our contemporaries we passed through the "Wet
Darkroom" stage. At the high point we could create
exhibition prints up to 20" x 16" from 35mm negatives that would
stand the closest scrutiny.
The darkroom faded into the past when our
family commitments demanded as opposed to a lack of interest.
With it, to a degree went the photography. We no longer attended
clubs, the point here is that there was nowhere to show our
prints (that we could no longer make) or slides.
Photography
passed into the realms of recording our life and travels. It sat
here until about 12 years ago when we could afford to own
digital SLRs. Being professionally involved with electronic
design the computing side of photography and indeed the
understanding of digital cameras was second nature.
I find the science of the modern photographic process infectious
and it would dominate if I let it. My Achilles heal is the
interpretive side. To put it politely, my photography sucks. But
I do enjoy trying
