Now retired - but not from life! (Too many hobbies to list). Graphic Designer and Photographer. Design Consultancies in London early on, then about a decade as Art Director with the big Ad Agencies in Melbourne, followed by decades freelancing. For the last 8 or so years of my career I had a beautifully setup photostudio (all to myself). This was just as usable digital began to happen, at first I used a Phase One 'scan-back' on an Arca Swiss 5x4 camera. Cool ceiling running lights and backgrounds etc made things pretty easy. When DSLR became viable a D100 was added.
Much of the work was product photography, but some fashion, location / interiors, that sort of thing. I had a small darkroom for a few years at home. And I do have a modest collection of rangefinder and junk cameras.
Dreaded Phone and Nikon Digital (D70) like most I guess nowadays, but now my Mamiyas and Kowa are 'calling me home!'.
In case anyone's interested, here's a link to my website (I'm not operating professionally anymore so just out of interest):

Also, in my second career as a guitar maker, (again -not commercially operating any more):

Cheers.
