For me photography has been a passion I’ve taken with me through my entire life since I started my hobby after receiving my first camera for my 14 th birthday on 13 October 1964. Incidentally I am turning 70 at th Convention should I be lucky enough to attend.
From the precious photos of my family with one of my cameras, film in the older days and digital nowadays for the carefully planned photo shoots, for the artistic stills to a quick shot of something that caught my eye and snapped with my phone camera. Being able to tell a story, share some beauty or being able to help or inform someone are just some of the many great things I get from photography.
Being a local guide has given me the opportunity to share the beauty in ordinary places with people around the world, help a small coffee shop reach more people and has given the opportunity to spend some time honing my skills and taught me to look at things differently while enjoying my passion.
