About photography, this site and me


About me
  About the site
My name is Graham, I live in the small market town of Hinckley in Leicestershire, England. I am 59 years old, and I like taking pictures.

Photography is my full time hobby, my passion. I keep trying to improve my technique, develop a more artistic eye, in short, take better pictures. I have been interested in the subject in a passive way for most of my life and active in bursts over the years.

When I took early retirement in 2003 that my interest really took off. From then on I became a photographer, not because I made any money at it, but just because taking photos is what I did, and it is still my primary activity.
