My Bio

HEY .. Llamas just aint my currency ok ! !

Always loved the outdoors & nature. The first job i did after leaving school was working for the local countryside warden. Did that for around 18 months. I was in my element quite literally. I'd used simple film camera's for a few years but on getting my first job in 1981 i saved up & bought a 35mm SLR. I absolutely loved it. I was lodging with a couple & the husband had his own darkroom so i became very engrossed in the whole black & white experience.. Anyway i eventually sold my SLR & moved onto compact zooms. I always regretted parting with the SLR. After having a digital compact zoom for around 7 years i was laid off & decided to buy myself a DSLR & fill my time taking photos in more depth. I was out of work for 4.5 months & i think if i hadn't had my camera i would have gone mad. Now i just drive Jan mad with my constant photo taking :)

Hello Gary!

I decided to showcase one of your amazing artworks in my new feature which is a collection of the most inspirational art I come across on DeviantArt.

I'm very grateful that you shared it on here and I'm doing my part to give it more exposure, as it truly deserves it.
