Who is behind all this?

Hi Colin here . . .

... l`ve been a photographer for many years and have a passion for portraiture.

A Yorkshireman by birth and old enough to know better, but hey! you only get one shot at this life so my philosophy is `enjoy it`.

I now live in the West of Scotland, with the Highlands and the Clyde Coast readily accessible, both of which are a photographers paradise.

Whilst photography dominates my life, l also enjoy hill walking and cycling, with music, theatre and reading filling in the gaps.

Objectives ...

... l am constantly aiming to improve the overall standard of my photography, both in the darkroom and digitally. The later proving a stimulating experience with its creative possibilities, although l have barely touched the surface.

A panel of work is slowly appearing which l hope will be the basis for an exhibition of monochrome portrait images. The theme of which is as yet undecided.
