I joined Sheffield Photographic Society nearly thirty years ago when I first came to live in the city. I remained a member for about ten years and learned a lot from other members and from entering various competitions. Marriage, a family and then a Computer Studies degree course meant less and less time for photography, other than family snapshots, and I stopped attending SPS. My interest in computers and the arrival of affordable digital cameras rekindled my interest and I rejoined SPS (It's a good job the rest of my family are all keen computer users).
