Hooked from an early age due to the wonders of zoom lens technology, my photography has always been with me. Sometimes dormant, often pushed down the order to make way for the paying of bills, it enables me to share my story. I received my first camera as a 21st birthday present when the film was still in the ascendency, and we all had dial-up modems. Never really putting it down again, my favourite storage medium (shoeboxes) became filled with colour negatives and photos, delivered in lots of 24 or 36, bundled in their Kodak yellow pouches. I embraced digital photography and, with it, moved from shoeboxes to hard drives.
