First given a camera (Kodak Brownie 127) in 1960. Have been taking pictures ever since.
Passionate about the, often ignored, beauty of the British Isles and it's peoples.
This blog is the background to my works available on Flickr, Vimeo and YouTube. Just search for "The Frantic Photographer"

My final posting on Flickr for 2015 - From Threads Come..... At Quarry Bank Mill in Cheshire. Shot at 3200 DIN and 1/50th of a second this image of a weaving machine, of some sort, was lightened in Photoshop and then processed using Pixir - something new for me.
Quarry Bank Mill in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile mills of the Industrial Revolution and is now a museum of the cotton industry. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
The mill is on the bank of the River Bollin which provided water to power the waterwheels. It was connected by road to the Bridgewater Canal (see my previous photo post) for transporting raw cotton from the port of Liverpool.
