WHO COULD EVER HAVE ASKED FOR MORE)

Got involved in the Music-Rock-Business

As everything except a musician

But kept the day job

Some quite good ones

Got his 1st camera, Kodak Instamatic 126, from Green Sheild Stamps

& got bit by that bug

Later, in London, was offered a 2ndhand Minolta & bought it

THAT WAS IT

More than 30 years later.............

in the meantime

Highly commended Brighton Festival

Freelance Ambulance Chasing

(Fire Engines, actually)

Butlins

Some rock journalism

Shitty dayjobs

They have been removed

& slowly a re-emergence
