Neil at his market stall

I was at the market again as I took up the option of having an extra stall this weekend.

Neil was also attending today selling his selection of secondhand cameras which he buys wherever he can, mostly online. He also loves pens with nibs and he sells new ones, although good secondhand ones appear occasionally.

Neil has been a photographer all his working life having trained in a lab as a teenager before going on to being a local news photographer. He is a fount of knowledge about camera equipment and loves to find classic lenses, which he is always keen to show to me, although he seldom has Canon lenses. Nowadays he loves posting his pics on Instagram and seems to be gathering a large following.
