My parents gave me my first camera, an old box camera which used 120 monochrome film. I must have been about 8 years old at the time. I took an interest in processing my own films by the time I was 12, and soon I had taken my first photograph which I realised was something more than just a snap. Here it is, taken on the Channel Island of Sark in about 1959.
Sark has no motorised transport even today other than for a few farm tractors with carts. The method of conveyance, particularly from the harbour up the hill to the centre of the island was horse and cart. Here is one old man with horse, allowing it to rest before the next wave of tourists arrived by boat.
My photography continued using 35mm film mostly and I present here one or two photographs that I took in London during the mid 1960s.
Trafalgar Square around Christmas time (National Gallery in the background and the Christmas tree presented annually by Norway)
Kensington Gardens on a Sunday afternoon (the pram and the nanny are very typical of the area)
Horseguards (notice the milk bottles - right- in their crates ready for collection! Charles I was executed on scaffolding set up outside one of the windows on the right)
Leicester Square Odeon at night
Axmouth, Devon - January 1963 during the "deep freeze"
