My hobbies
An activity that you do for pleasure when you are not working
By that definition my 'Hobbies', 'Activities' and 'Events' are all really Hobbies. Even so I will continue to refer to them separately, accepting the there will be some overlap.
Also included in that definition would be eating, and watching TV. One an essential, the other a pastime. Neither covered here.

Another home built Tower computer.

Click on his name to link to his web site. I have used a wide range of equipment in that time including Pentax, Olympus, Nikon, Panasonic and Sony. My first Camera was a box brownie.

Natural History
Again I have been interested in Natural History since childhood. I started writing a book on animal classification in my first year at secondary school. I never completed it as there were already better books available. However, the research for my book did give me a good understanding of the structures of classification systems. At the time that I started compiling the book I thought that there were only two primary classifications known as Kingdoms. This was based on the Linnaean classification. The Animal Kingdom and the Plant Kingdom.
