I take photos for a variety of reasons.

(i) I love taking photos
(ii) to try and capture the moment, or perhaps the view that I see of the 
world 
at a particular instant.
(iii) to show to friends, family - and of course the LUG, maybe one day to 
exhibit
(iv) to record something which may be gone soon. Despite our proximity to 
London 
there is real country around here - although I don't know how long much of 
it 
will remain. And the complement of that is that it is a world which is in 
change, partly rural, partly ruralised urban types; both facets try to come 
to 
terms with the other which itself is intersting.

What do I shoot:

Mostly "landscapes" whatever that may actually mean.

Events - that I go to and where I think that there is often something of 
interest.

cars - oh well

People? yes, but not as portraits; generally in the street.

Oh yes and I must say that haviong as diverse a group as the LUG to show to 
means that I often find myself asking, "would the guys in Co, Ca, India, NZ, 
Oz 
etc. be interested in that...?"
