Why do I take photos. I have spent 44 years of my life working underground, in a horrible, dusty, hot, smelly noisy dangerous environment. For about 4 months over the winter, you never see daylight other than your days off. If you work your days off, then daylight becomes only a memory. It is dark when you go down the pit, and dark when you come back out again. I have always enjoyed going out with my camera to try to make up for the restrictions working in such places imposes on the simple things in life.....fresh air.....hearing the birds singing....watching new plants emerge, and just seeing the beauty all around that many take for granted. Now that I am retired, I intend doing so even more. It is my freedom, and on days when I can't get out, looking at my photos brings many happy memories back to me until the next time I go out....Simples !!!
