So far....I have created this site to show some of my photographs. I have been a photographer for 5 years and started while I was at school. My passion took me on to study at college before working professionally. Alas, the world of full time professional photography was not for me! I always felt I had the calling to become a teacher (which was my plan anyway but with photography) which I am fulfilling at the moment.
I use a variety of different mediums for my photography. At college I worked in the Darkrooms, this gives a good grounding on how to get a photo right first time, no photoshop! I also use different types of digital equipment. My Canon SLR and accompanying lenses are perhaps my most potent weapons’, but now I tend to find my iPhone handy and convenient for those times when carrying a huge SLR and lenses is not an option. Outside of photography I have a rather unhealthy obsession with Basketball. I was a player, at one time, but I found myself being drawn to coaching from an early age. This is not something that I am bitter about by any stretch of the imagination. I have visited places I would never have gone, met people I would never have known existed, and improved myself hugely. At the moment in coaching I work with eight year olds right up to eighteen plus, this requires a lot of thinking and planning to be able to be effective with such a difference in ages, abilities and characters, but I can ensure you I enjoy it. To the right you can see my random twitter bletherings, often they are accompanied by photos, just click on a link to delve deeper! >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anyway, that is enough blethering from me. Please have a look about the site and enjoy. Best Wishes, Alistair |
