A serious interest in photography developed from attending re-enactments by the Fairfax Battalia of the English Civil War Society and the Tudor Group (as one who has always refused to don any kind of costume or kit!). I use both digital and film cameras, and am resisting learning how to use computer manipulation packages. A few images have had to be 'rescued' in some way, but the majority of the photos on this website have not been altered or manipulated on a computer. (You will not see any ghastly effects such as 'watercolouring' or 'pen and ink' on this website.)
