Introduction I have been interested in photography since I was eleven years old when I got my first camera, a Box Brownie. I now use an Olympus OM-D mirrorless cmera and have most of my old cameras in a cabinet at home. As far as I know they all still work.

For those interested, my photo equipment list (as used for this Blog) is as follows:
Olympus OM-D E-M10 II
M.Zuiko 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 ED
M.Zuiko 9-18mm 1:4-5.6 ED
M.Zuiko 40-150mm 1:4-5.6 ED
M.Zuiko 60mm 1:2.8 Macro ED
M.Zuiko 12-40mm 1:2.8 PRO

Some pictures are from older equipment including Olympus OM1N and OM2SP film cameras on Fuji slide film!

I was brought up in Derbyshire and worked as a Computer Programmer in Surrey, London, Altrincham and Milton Keynes before retiring to France in 2003.

We returned to the UK in 2010 and I live with my wife, Lyn, and dog, Button, in North Staffordshire on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
