When all else fails, I take photographs

Let's forget the Tour de France, Iraq and Iran, North Korea and everything else for a moment and write about images.
 
I've taken photographs since I was about 8 or 9. I was much younger when my parents showed me "how" to do it, but my earliest solid recollection is taking my dad's Kodak Box Brownie on a school excursion in 1969... and a procession of increasingly sophisticated - and expensive - cameras followed in quick succession, usually coupled with a bicycle to get me to a "location". Indeed I only bought a car to provide safer transport for my cameras, as I was packing a hefty load of bodies and lenses by the time I was 18. The car thing became an Italian obsession, but that's another story.
 
Enough of that, here are some pics. Basically just a digital SLR, some water and a flash. Bingo, the fun with water series, take 3.
