ThNks Mate, their is just a wealth of nature and opportunity at the squeezed out duck pondup the road, I just hope it doesn’t get further damaged when the houses are built around it.

nice Dave,
cheers Tannin,

I did a city walk around with a photography group today, and we had to ask someone if we could take their photo, and find out why they were in the city today! Post in colour & black & white to choose the best. As you can imagine this is a stretch of my comfort zone!!
Challenge photo!
This lovely gentleman, John Lloyd Fillingham, not only allowed me to take His photo, He posed and gave me advice! I had run across to Digidirect to buy a 50mm prime lens, and decided, ugh, I have to move this is hard. John gave me advice, said shoot me wide open, and i loved all the results!! Part of the challenge was to find out why they were in the city today. John is on good terms with his ex, and he stayed at her place last night, So he was grabbing a coffee and waiting for his work to arrive. His work turns out to be Zoom movies he pieces together. So i thought that was cool. He is from the North of England, im from the South so we had a great chat!!! He followed me on Instagram so i could follow back. I just had a look. Turns out John is a producer! My brilliant career! We shook hands and wished each other well, And now I am in awe!!!

there were 15-20 of us milling around looking for a victim, its no stretch to say i really lucked it in!!!






hes done a bit of local theatre, blood vessel, oil, my brilliant career, and he was a theatre actor in England!!
