About Me

I am a guy in his early 50s who lives in North York. I am separated, and have two lovely daughters from my ex-wife.

I’ve been hosting this blog since 2001, and over time it has evolved to being a showcase for my pictures. It is not a particular blog about any particular subject other than myself, my family and my interests.

My interests include photography, history (especially of Ancient Egypt, which has held a special interest since I was a boy), special events, as well as fauna and flora.

I am not a professional photographer, just a dedicated amateur. My camera of choice is Olympus (love their four-thirds format, the colour fidelity of their CCDs and the relatively compact nature of their lenses) and my chief camera is a much-battered E-620. My lens of choice are my macro lens or one of two telephotos — the 300mm for bird photography in decent light conditions, the heavier f2 200mm for not-as-distant things where either the light is poor or I need to capture action.
