This arrived in the post(email) today. In 1971 I used to write out to ARPS and FRPS judges arranging competitions for the Crosby Camera Club. In those days I was (obviously) a callow youth and I set myself a goal of getting at least an ARPS when I was grown up. Well, I have […]
Galleries up and running
Thanks to the very patient and helpful Rod Barbee on the Turning Gate forum I have cleared up my mental blockage on publishing to nested galleries. I am now using album sets and Albums. I think it will make things easier for visitors to navigate.
Vigilant
Tonight, I stepped aboard Vigilant, a Customs Cutter, in Ipswich Dock. One crew member on board served with me on our training crew back in 1978.

The planning and execution of this exhibition was some 5 […]
