Hi my names Mark, I live in Worthing (near Brighton). I guess I've been interested in photography since I was a kid, as there were always cameras around, had a bunch of hand me down 35mm point and shoots, first couple of cameras I got myself were Sony digital point and shoots, until I picked up a Nikon D40 with the kit lens and a 50mm to go traveling with. Pretty much nothing but snapshots and memories, but it served me well on many trips, until it met its end on a fishing trip in the states (RIP), anyway I didn't have the money to buy another camera while I was away, so just went to a charity shop and picked up a 35mm slr (Pentax K1000) with some random zoom lens and a bunch of rolls of film and shot that the remainder of the trip. I really liked the images I got shooting the cheapest film I could find (Kodak Gold 200, I think), so kept using film.
Nowaday, I shoot maybe 80% film, 20% digital. I enjoy the whole process from creating the images, developing and printing (although scanning negatives is a pain, so I mostly stick to darkroom printing). I'd still say my stuff is snapshots and memories, but I love travel photography.
I was directed here by someone from the Negative Positives Film Photo Podcast facebook group, as since I've been listening to more photography podcasts of late, the whole idea of a community of people who share a common interest intrigued me. Typically I'm just the odd guy with two/three cameras taking photos of stuff that interests me.
