I am really glad that a friend convinced me to stop buying disposable cameras and to buy something "decent" Little did I know at the time that photography would become more for me than just a record of places I've been and things that I've done. I was born in Cape Town, but like so many South Africans, I seem to have got stuck in the U.K. I love film and my Pentax MX and lately I seem to be going back to cheap plastic cameras!
