Photography is
currently a hobby for me. I spend a great deal of my spare time
out shooting, thinking about my next shoot or working on the images
that I have.
I first picked up a camera with any real intention
of learning photography when I was13. My camera was a totally manual
35mm SLR, a Praktica PM3. I still have this camera and it gets an
airing every once in a while. I stuck at this for about 5 years,
ironically until I went to art college, where I lost interest and
worked more towards design. I still kept a passing interest and
continued to work part time as a photographic retoucher. It wasn't
until around 2000 that i first used a digital camera and started
to get back into photography, dusting off my film cameras and then
buying my first digital camera a year later.
Today most of my additions are taken digitally,
this isn't to say that I do not use film, as i still find it useful,
like everything the trick is knowing the right tool for any given
task. Currently I am using a Canon EOS 300D, a PentaxP30 and a Praktica
PM3.
