MY STORY

Hello, Thanks for landing here.

This website is devoted to my passion for street photography. When I was a child my dad bought me a Brownie camera - anyone remember those? About 50 years ago in the 1970s (yes, I am that old!), at school, I went on an elective for a couple of weeks to Hornsey Art College (it became part of MiddlesexPoly/Uni). It was exciting to take photographs ‘in the street’. I have had a variety of cameras over the years and until recently I have always taken photos as memories rather than anything else. I somehow knew I would return to this one day - so, here I am.

I didn’t go into a creative profession, but had a long career as a nurse and a university lecturer. Now retired, I have the time to pursue this passion.

If you followed me before you will know that my website (on WordPress) used to focus on ‘climate issues’ and was called Lessen Our Carbon And Live (LOCAL). I decided to transfer the blogs across (just in case you are interested!)
