My name is Brian Vincent and I live in Ipswich, Suffolk.  Having been made redundant in 2004 I decided to retire early, allowing time to enjoy less stressful pursuits, in particular my hobbies.  One of these is photography, which I took up as a teenager back in the early 60's. My first pictures were taken with a Brownie 127, but it was not long before I switched to an older 120-format camera, the lens of which I also used in a homemade horizontal-style enlarger.  The lamp-house, I fondly recall, was made from a large coffee tin, which had quite an aroma after a little use!  Other exploits included the manufacture of homemade blueprint paper - a process I had to abandon on discovering that it gave negative prints from a negative! In my last year at school I converted to 35mm, to which I remained faithful until the redundancy event, when I purchased my first digital camera. This website is basically an extension of my hobby.  If I can also earn a bit of beer money that will be a bonus, but I won't hold my breath! P.S.
