Occasional photographer.  Mostly too idle/disorganised to carry proper camera.  Frustrated by limitations of Samsung A3 phone! #monochrome #closeup #abstract

Update - March 2019 - I have a new camera. After weeks of research, and coming to the conclusion that a mirrorless system was the way forward, I finally decided on a Fujifilm X-A5, which came with an XC 15-45 short zoom lens.  Enjoying trying out all the clever settings, and only occasionally getting bewildered!

I don't always have time to keep up to date with responding to comments, but I'm hugely appreciative of all your kind words, stars and favourites - thank you!

Update - November 2019 - back on Blip after several months' absence because of too much going on in life. Not committing to blipping every day, but it's good to have an incentive to use my camera more often - and I've also got a new phone (Samsung A50) which takes infinitely better pictures than my old one.

Update - December 2021 - trying to blip more regularly, but still not committing to daily blips! Mainly using the phone as I'm not very good at carrying the big camera around with me, but have now also got a cracking little compact zoom from Sony (DSC-HX90V) which just about fits in a pocket or handbag (when I remember) and does well in mono. The flip screen allows me to play with some different camera angles, too.

Update - October 2024. Have been largely absent from Blip for a very long time - hoping to ease myself into taking photographs again as I miss it.
