Portrait Photography
Over the years I have taken pictures of just about everything, Now I seem to be heading towards portraits, I have found a love in capuring moments, or creating a moment through sets and design. Below are a few examples of what I mean.
This image is of an 80 year old farmer, who still works every day.The youth of today need to take a leaf out of his book!

Queer as folk!
Well for the past week it's been a sunny sunny Cornwall, the daffodils are out and as soon as I can grab some time I'm out to......With my cameras.
I have noticed through experiment that if I stand in the middle of the pavement with a small point and shoot camera clicking off pictures nobody takes any notice apart from I'm stood still on the pavement therefore i'm in their way! Now I took my digital Slr to the same spot and the reaction of the public was only what I can describe as a frown, they seemed annoyed that I may have taken their picture!! OK because I noticed this change in attitude I decided to take my 1958 rollieflex to the same spot, and guess what attitudes changed again! This time it was more of a look of interest and intrigue and older folks stopped to tell me that they had a camera like that once, but not one frown! OK I decided on the big one, I took my 1890 plate camera to the same spot, and you guessed it attitudes were again changed, this time 60% of the people asked what I was doing or they asked questions about the camera! Until.....................I got moved on the the police for causing an obstruction, I packed my equipment up and chatted to Mr Plod about why he felt I was an obstruction, he was very nice and said it wasn't me who was the problem, but I was the cause of the problem, simply because every one stopped to see what I was doing. The morel is the bigger and more interesting your camera is....the more likely you are to get arrested!!!!!!!

Plea for old cameras
Ok I'm on the scrounge! I'm looking for old cameras to take apart so I can use the glass parts for photographic experiments. I'm happy to refund your postage, or if you live in cornwall i'm happy to collect, so have a dig around...Please. If you have any you don't want anymore please e-mail me and I will forward you my address. Thank you in advance.

Ghost Balls
Well we had another ghost hunt, this time in a pub, The picture below was taken at 2am in the main bar! The thing to note is that seconds after taking this picture it was shown to the landlady and other members of the team to make sure there was no post production
