It has been a very wet sort of day, I've had the day off and been to see my good friend Simon, he was busy sorting a room out and I helped him strip a wall, To save fuel, I decided to walk to his house, well felt I needed the exercise, and the camera as always accompanied me.
We the first site is was of local road which is being road surfaced, so it will be a week of mayhem.
Talking of Mayhem, we are seeing images of rioting and demonstrations in Lybia, Egypt and Bahreign, ( dont know if I spelt that one ok), People are speaking their minds and trying to out the tyrants, the start of something me thinks.
Been looking at some of my past photos recent, and their is a shitload to look through, and I cant believe that I have been taking pictures solidly for 17 years, I actually took my very first picture in 1986, and mars shaped 110. This was of a Nottingham City Transport Leyland Atlantean, however, I didnt really take anymore until 1993, there were some false starts, but it was september 1993 that I seriously took up the hobby, and I have not looked back.
I had started to collect picutres in 1991, but these were ones taken by other people. I had looked at these pictures and wondered if I could take pictures like these. So I borrowed my brothers camera, and took some pictures, well I had done this back in 1991, but never processed the films until 1993, along with a couple from 1992.
My first pictures did not really turn out right, but I have kept the pictures for all times sake, It was after getting a decent compact camera for that my photography really took off. After 2 years I bought a second hand SLR camera and enjoyed the hobby even more.
The next big change happened in 2008, when I borrowed my dads compact digital camera, I took the plunge at christmas 2008. On the back of this I started a fotopic page in Jan 2008, using a selection of prints which had been copied on to disc, and the results took on my dads compact. I would like to scan the earlier pictures in one day and put these on the site to share them with the world.
Now one thing I will not do is publish pictures taken by other people, without permission, So for now all pictures on the site have been taken by myself. Please when you get chance, have a look at my photosite, It is called calumbus's photographic adventures.
Enjoy and TTFN
