NATIONAL TRUST PHOTO COMPETITION

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 31, 2009, 12:37 AM

I have this week entered 3 of my pictures into the National Trust photo competition "TIME WELL SPENT". This relies on a public vote, so by way of this journal I thought I would do a bit of grovelling and try and secure your votes. You can register your votes at the links below, of course only vote if you think them worthy otherwise it would be unfair!!!!

A "war baby". My first steps in photography were a darkroom in an old wardrobe when I was 10. I left school at 15 to work as a foot messenger in the oldest press agency in Fleet Street . I entered the magical atmosphere of a darkroom at 16. I formed my own photographic company in Mayfair at 32, and stayed processing until I retired at 55 I have witnessed the progression of photography from glass plates through film to digital. I am now well hooked on digital photography and the manipulation programs,especially Photoshop. I now live in Dorset with my partner and dog, using my camera nearly every day. I am still learning so please excuse my many failures.

Thank you for your kind comments I am glad that some of my efforts please you. i am off to the Far East for a month so I shall not be on this site till I get back with hopefully fresh inspiration.
Also thanks for the competition vote, it is much appreciated. I will know when I return in December whether I have been successful.

Hi Ray,
I am enthralled by your work and mesmorized by the ethereal nature of your compostions. I'm not technically trained in photography but I have logged tens of thousands of hours viewing photographs. I find your work to be very impressive. I am truly thankful I stumble-surfed my way here. You got my vote in the National Trust competition. Good luck.

Cheers,
CimWalls
