    Hi people,

    I got back in to photography after a long gap when I picked up a Pentax KX in a junk shop and it got me all fired up to do some pics again.
    I seem to spend most of my time though fixing old cameras, I have a few Canons from halcyon fays so thought I’d stop by and be friendly :)

    I almost never document them. I suppose I should and I did try a few times but invariably I hit some issue or other and get a bit bogged down or focused on one particular thing. Doing a good documentary thing takes a lot of time.
