Welcome

Welcome to my fotopic site.

The images contained within are the product of just over 18 months worth of digital photography, with the majority of my collection being carried out in 35mm. These are yet to be scanned and presented.

I have created a section for these photographs entitled Heritage Traction.

The images here have been taken mainly in the West Midlands, particularly Staffordshire and Birmingham, with a smattering of other areas thrown in for good measure.

I hope you enjoy what is merely a tiny selection of my photographs ( that now run over 10,000 all in all!)

Feel free to leave comments.

Cheers for looking.
