Hi Guys and Gals
 
Hi Guys and Gals,
Sort of retired, interested in transport from models to super heavy haulage & vintage since the sixties, and been in photography since, yes, the sixties, into video since the 1980s. Hope to contribute when work permits, I hope I have some pictures and possibly video to tickle the fancy of other members. presently trying to build a Transport web site to show my work outside of the forum. I think I am a bit of a bitsa, I am interested in a bit of this, a bit of that and I guess my knowledge is a bit patchy too.
Look forward to visiting.

Welcome, snapper2, you sound like just the sort of member who will fit in just fine with the rest of us here.

I'm looking forward to reading your contributions and joining in the discussions.

Welcome snapper2, it is as G-CPTN says, I think you will fit in here just fine.

Hi Guys
 
Just posted the first eight pictures, a bit of sort of a cross section.
comments welcomed.

(For the info of anyone concerned about such things ALL the images I post will be my own from original negatives and transparencies.)

So far you have managed an eclectic selection!

snapper2 3rd August 2011 16:03

Let's just say, the surface has been scratched.of a large collection.

Welcome, you'll enjoy this place, I am sure.
Great to see the older guys with the memories and older photos.

Enjoy.

Thing is I wasn't an older guy when I started!

It just grew on me. Hope you will get as much pleasure from my photos and eventually videos as I did taking them.

Early eighties, on a road trip with friends with a 60's Scammell & an AEC 1937, visited a wealthy collector, looking round his varied collection, I asked what he was taking to the GDSF that year, he gave a list (extensive but I don't recall the detail )then asked what I was taking "Oh, the usual, Mamiya, pentax." His response was to the effect "I am taking this******* lot on six ********low loaders and your taking **** **** Cameras!" that gave us all including him a laugh for many years. Sadly he is no longer with us.
Blinking cheek, I just noticed your age, older Guy? older guy? I only have a couple of years on you! Blinkin Kids!:D
