Quiet here isn’t it

I haven’t done much blogging or picture posting here. In fact over the last few months I haven’t posted much to any of the blogs I’m involved in or to flickr. I have to change that.

Hopefully in the next month or so I’ll get my photo library sorted onto a new machine, one that can run photoshop and display photos properly. Once that is done I’ll put up a new website and start posting properly.

For starters this post is coming from my iPhone which had become my main Internet terminal 🙂

Welcome

Welcome to my new website and blog. I’ve set this up as I prepare to take part in the Peoples Photography 2008 in Dublin. I’m an amateur photographer and take photographs mostly for myself but also for my friends and family to see.

I live in Dublin, Ireland and like almost everyone else I’ve been taking photographs for years, usually with small point and click cameras. My friends always told me that I should do a photography course so 3 years ago I signed up for a Black & White processing course and bought my first SLR camera, a simple and cheap Sigma film SLR. 18 months ago it was time to enter the modern era so I bought a Canon 350D DSLR and entered the world of hobby photography.

I still have lots to learn, I’m not the best photographer in the world, I’m not even as good as I hope to be. Hopefully in future years I will continue to take part in the Peoples Photography and each year my photographs will show improvement.
