Photography (landscape mainly), fell walking, National Trust properties and Ancient Monuments, politics (no, you don't say), ducking and diving.

Pink Floyd (naturally) in particular researching their catalogue & discography.

Also a big fan of Arthouse & Cult cinema.

Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

Fishing, skiing, comic books and something that has developed over the last couple of years... Collecting all things to do with the years 1981 to 85!... I think thats to do with them being the best years (carefree wise) of my life...

Photo restoration

Post by Ned »

Exciting huh?

Takes hours to do it properly. When my father died I spent ages restoring all of his old photos and putting them onto CDs for the rest of the family. Something I'd like to do for a living, to be honest, but nobody seems to care about their old photos thesedays.

Respect for approaching the discipline properly and with passion.

Love ferreting for old photos myself, whether or not the context in which the image taken is known.

Nah, for 90% of the population, it's an absolute given, the other 10% is a mix of religious something or other, dead, or another form of brain collapse (lies ?).
