Around the mid' 80s I began matters photographic by joining my local camera club, a great place for learning. Time marched on and I became known as the "technical one" - the artistic side of things took just a bit longer. In due course I became a big fish in a small pond. It was time for a move to a bigger pond. I joined the Royal Photographic Society and vanished!

Then I resurfaced through obtaining my Licentiate-ship award.

The RPS magazine ran details regarding a Bromoil course. The process had always been one of my ambitions, so a hopeful request for a place on the course was posted. Unfortunately it was fully booked and I was placed on the waiting list for the next one. When it arrived I had a great day and joined the Circle. Next stage was to see me consuming masses of paper in order to produce some indifferent Bromoils.

Never one to give up without a fight, I found the answer to my troubles. I was up and running with evident progress and enjoying my time with the Circle from whom much help has been gleaned
