North-West England. black/white pics mostly, though not averse to colour. strictly amateur. tried 'serious' photography for the first time in 1993 as a mature student and loved it. a good camera and a darkroom was like another world. wish i'd had more opportunities to do it since. maybe a digital camera on the horizon, more likely a good 2nd hand Pentax tho...!!! hope you like this lot anyway.
BIO
from the book of quotes from Leonard Cohen... 'It's good to sit in the fires of your own distress. It really does seem to burn a whole lot of shit away.' 'When you meet the young you've really got to put aside a lot of their bullshit because there's just a lot of stuff they don't know'. 'After a certain point i just don't remember what the emotions of the intentions of the past were'. 'A pessimist is someone who is waiting for it to rain. But i'm already soaked to the skin'. 'I imagine the guy with the title 'Great Lover' is in the same boat as a guy with the title 'Poet'. He can't get a date'. 'I don't worry about being misunderstood. I don't think that anyone can be misunderstood. I think that we are all in contact. Each person who has his eyes and heart open, is in contact with the deepest part of every other person'. 'One of the Indian poets said, 'The river of desire has only one bank, once you throw yourself into it you can't swim for the other side.'

..I like these old boarded up buildings - lots of character and atmosphere ---- my old home town ( Detroit ) is filled with such buildings --- I'd love to just glide thru the old neighborhoods taking photos of the ruins -- but it's just a tad too dangerous!

Wonderful moody picture, great use of contrast. You gave the image an old feel, which fits the building very well! Excellent!
