40 years.....a thank you list.

Well, errr yes!!! 40 years of snapping, shooting, togging, etc etc.......seems like a lifetime, but in reality it has flashed by without being noticed....having being interested at school, then being taken to and becoming a member of York Camera Club in the 1980's, being bought my first SLR (A Praktica MTL-B...for those who are older!!)....

​​

The delights of being able to use my photography to good use in my teens, snapping bands....to using it to good order in the Military.....through to Aerial Photography, Portraiture, Weddings, and then on to Road Races, Marathons, sports, glamour, aviation....the list goes on and on.

Many (and my mean 'many') more cameras, much film, much processing......., on to Digital, and now Mirrorless!!!!!

​​

So, here i am now, 40 years on....trying to think of who helped me on my way, afforded me the time, 'their' time and advice, assistance and inspiration..... and are they still alive (I hope so - although some are sadly no longer with us)?

​

I shall try to mention as many as i can...apologies if i have forgotten you......in no particular order:
