Welcome

I hope you will find something to interest you here.

2007 was a very busy and interesting year for us.

We spent a very enjoyable five weeks in Australia, judging the Adelaide AV Festival and giving a few lectures. No sooner were we home, than we were packed and flying off again, to do a wedding shoot in Gibraltar.

Organising two RPS Digital Groups, many web sites, entering competitions, giving lectures and shows, filled most of the rest of my time, so the web site has been a little neglected and the "Notes" I promised have not yet appeared. Apologies to those still waiting, but currently my time has been taken planning a very large event in 2008.

This will be a brand new International AV Competition especially aimed at young people to hopefully encourage them to participate in the field of digital Audio Visual Photography. Please take a look at the new web site at www.iris-25.rps.org and do pass on the information and encourage your family, friends, local schools and colleges to participate.

There are many photographic events taking place which you may enjoy. Click here to view details
Photographers are a very helpful and friendly bunch so do feel free to attend these event.
Contact me if you have an event or information to add

My interest in Digital AV, created so many e-mails and telephone queries I created a special web site as a resource called
www.digital-av.co.uk.

This is a resource site to help you get started and become enthusiastic about my favourite form of photography.

I have also included many useful links to other websites which you may find helpful.

Latest news and developments which you may find useful can also be found here. on the information page. Hopefully I'll have enough time in the future, in between lectures, organising meetings and Festivals to keep it up to date !

Family History
Genealogy is another strong interest dating back to my teens. I hope to include many branches of my family trees which I have researched back to the early fifteenth Century in a few ancestral lines. Our family History information is available at Albright and Beautiful - click here
I have a vast amount of information which will gradually be added to this site. The Albright / Albrecht line goes back to 1496 in Rottenberg-ob Der Tauber, Germany and includes links with the Swedish Spolander name.
