Hi guys and gals

Makes me sound Jimmy Savillesque, but I assure you, I'm nothing like the guy!

A big hello from sundrenched Bolton although at the end of the month I shall be relocating to sunny Portsmouth and starting a new life.

I have always been interested in wildlife and the likes and my mum often reminds me of the times when I used to catch spiders, put them in a jam jar and talk to them, or when I gathered loads of earwigs and started my own little colony in a fish tank in the front room... or the most disturbing one... when I found out one of my neighbours had a phobia of worms so I collected as many as I could, stuffed them in an envelope and posted them through her front door.

I can confirm that it interests me in a much different way now... I love photographing it, in fact I love photographing just about everything!

I'm 38 and work as a graphic artist, soon to be self-employed.

Ian G

Re: Hi guys and gals

Welcome to WAB Ian G - what a delightful little boy you must have been!!! Good luck with your move and new life down in Portsmouth. I'm sure there will be plenty you can tell us about that area of the south and maybe post a few photos too.

Re: Hi guys and gals

At the moment I'm at my girlfriend's (the reason I'm relocating) but will post some work up, no problem.

The work that may interest you all the most is here on my website:
