from Worksop, United Kingdom
I got my 1st camera when i was about 6, it was a Kodak 126 instamatic camera that took annoyingly square pictures having seen some of my photos a friend gave me his old practica, and later i bought myself a Ricoh KR10X + a 28-200mm zoom lens especially to go with me to see K2 - i got the ricoh because i learn't it was better for tempreture variations - just as well with temps ranging from -20c at night to +50c in days a lot of fellow trekkers cameras just stopped working.
I also managed to pick up a little olympus XA i think it was which was good when weight n' size mattered & after that died someone left me a Samsung fino 140S which i still have along with the ricoh, varoius lenses and my N73 camera phone with its 3.2mb lens which reproduces my prints amazingly when or if the software on it works.
I love my mountains and everything on or in them, geology, archeology, astronomy - have a meade ETX105EC telescope, love plants, birds n' animals and basically exploring this wonderful planet we live on and beyond.
i've been lucky to work my way around the U.K. especilly at youth hostels in the lakes and pennines but sadly now at 46, i find myself in worksop with no mountains.
I've recently bought a Fuji Finepix A920 not quite the DSLR i want but will hopefully give me better scope for clearer images. I am dismayed by my new camera it eats batteries every time i turn it on it demands more. i think i am going back to my old trusty Riccoh - it takes a better picture and now with my scanner i can put them on my computer.

Photo's taken on a Nokia N73. Most of my older photos taken on a Ricoh KR10X but of course its not digital. Got my first camera when i was 7 been told i have an eye for a photo - got thousands since. Found the site by following a link to Sergey Goncharov's photos because hes my fav photographer on met art.
I love nature, especially mountains + archeology, geology etc + good tastefull photos of pretty girls.
