I have a camera, and sometimes I use it to produce something interesting :-)
I Have been taking photos of one description or another, since I was 10 years old. My "hobby" grew until I left school / college, where work (Police Constable in London) got in the way. I kept my hand in by taking pictures on a small compact I could carry at work, but this did not satisfy my need to get out as much as possible, especially as there were some situations where it was not possible.
Having retired from the police, photography is once again at the forefront of my life (after family of course).
