Hello dear visitor. I've been interested in photography ever since my sis gave me a Brownie Six-20 for my eighth birthday. After a couple of years I upgraded to a Kodak instamatic then took the BIG jump to a Zenit E. And that was it ...I was hooked.

Richard G. Simmons (argie simm for short). English fellow in France. Cruseilles (Haute-Savoie) to be precise.

Photography and music are the two activities in which I take refuge when I want to forget the world of IT for a while.

I used to live in London in the early 70s and briefly worked for a camera dealer called Greens in Tottenham court Road. Any of you veterans remember them?

Have just come back to the wonderful world of DSLRs with a spanking new Nikon. Never had a Nikon before and love it.
