My first real cultural experience of art was in the summer of 1972 during a placement from my science degree at a research laboratory near Cambridge. For some reason I never associated my photography with art, loving the chemistry and physics of the process, and my father being a car and aircraft engineer I was more interested in car mechanics, engineering and science. Around that time I discovered turning overlapping photos into panoramas I still have some of the negatives. Our bathroom was converted to a darkroom smelling as often of chemicals as soap. Photography has always been important to me my father and uncle were keen amateurs and I was given a used Agiflash at about 6 years old, and at 14 a Pentax Spotmatic.
