Graham BirdBrearley Photo
I first held a camera (127, square format, twin lens reflex, I think!) on my father's knee. I got his love of photography and he passed on the fascination of seeing an image appear from nowhere in the darkroom. I got into digital photography in the '90s and have not looked back.
