TERMINAL PHOTOGRAPHY INDEX OLD PORTRAITS PAGE

Top row: Although I can be a little shy around strangers (they do not understand my ways, and can become agitated) I do enjoy photographing people. It's harder work than shooting landscapes, buildings or objects, as people tend to move relatively quickly but it's still an pleasant challenge to capture a look. A character displayed in an expression. A unique human moment. All of the photographs were taken by me and are unedited, except for size, contrast and cropping, as required.

Many more (and many better) shots can be found on other pages of my site. Have a shufty at the old Naked Photo Album, old Arty Farty, old Cycle-Art, Stowe, or Home pages. Or there's always my Web-Cam, Picture of the Month and Videoramascope pages, where you can see me moving, hugging a tree and on the last one, much to my shame, singing. As a final treat, here's a link to a Flash animated picture page called LondonPix (166k).

Bottom row: And, for no better reason than I'm always there ready to be photographed, or in other cases drawn or sculpted, here are some self-portraits. All of these photographs were taken by me (by holding the camera at arms length, by using a tripod and the self-timer or in one case, by balancing it on top of a gravestone) and are unedited ('cept the girly one) except for size, contrast and cropping, as required.
