I started taking photographs with an old Zenit B and a Helios 44 lens that belonged to a friend in about 1972. When I went to University, I started B&W developing and printing because I was a photographer for the student paper.
I studied engineering and photography was a hobby, developing and printing in the bathrooms of various houses until I returned to university and became a lecturer, first in the Mathematics department and, later, in the Art School teaching Sound engineering, cinematography and photography.
Lensbaby came into my life in 2014 when I was looking for a way to get similar effects to freelensing without the damage to the cameras that it caused. I retired in 2018 and moved to France where I spend a lot of time doing photography and woodwork. We are doing some house renovations and I built my first real darkroom in the old barn where I have two enlargers and the ability to investigate old processes like Cyanotype and alternative processes like Caffenol. I now use mainly Nikon mirrorless cameras.
I met Craig Strong at a Photography Show in 2017 and in 2019, at the same Photography show, I was invited to be one of the staff on the Lensbaby stand. I have a fairly extensive collection of Lensbabies from one of the first, hand built ones to the latest Spark 2.
