Hi, gonna make this brief cos its 6:30 am and I just woke up in my recliner.
My name is Larry, I live in north east England and I’m 59 years old with myeloma, hence the sleeping arrangements!
I’ve been into photography since I was about 10 when I was given a Kodak Instamatic 177x with 127 film and weird flash cubes.
Along the way I’ve had a Zenit TTL with extension tubes with with which I explored the dark world of macro, Then I had a minolta x300, then a Canon EOS300 (my first AF camera), then a Canon 10D (first digital) followed by a Canon 30D and now I have a Canon 5D mk ii.
I’ve not done much photography of late (life, dog, other stuff) but I hope to get back into it soon. At the moment I do a lot on my smartphone, which out performs most of those other cameras I’ve had!
I love macro, nature, landscape and abstract photography.
That’s pretty much me in a nutshell, along with my obsession with musical instruments!
Cheers
Larry
