I have been out of any real practice for more than 10 years, I completely ignored the digital revolution as I considered it to be losing all "real" control and felt that it took away everything I had learnt at college and 6 years as a freelancer. (I studied a City and Guilds Course in Photography, which taught mostly the basics of B+W processing, printing and presentation) I now take pictures purely for my own pleasure, and can rarely be found without a camera tucked away somewhere - I have become addicted again after so long.

My style is more "take what you see" rather than overly stylised images - I am still a complete newbie as far as anything to do with photoshop is concerened. For now the simple "convert to black and white" feature on my Sigma software has got me hooked!
