Introduction to Glen's Amateur Photography Tour

Site Map
Web sites with many pages can have problems with navigation. So I have included this site map for your convenience.
Home	Introduction (you are here)
The Travels: I have been to quite a few places, I take my camera virtually everywhere I go
Amsterdam . Although geographically smaller than most cities in Europe, it is big on everything it has to offer. Visually stunning, culturally vibrant and a very human place.
Architecture: When visiting a place, the buildings are usually the first make an impact. They provide a backdrop to activity and people. I have an interest in buildings and their interiors. The buildings and constructions that I have selected are of particular interest to me in that I find them quite unusual.
Architecture Two Same as above, needed another page.
Black and White: I like black and white photography. Needs some imagination and skill to produce a good shot. Here is my selection.
Greece: Great country to photograph. I think it is the quality of sunlight; extremely bright.
Leicestershire : A great county with some really spectacular landscapes. Great for walks in the countryside.
London: I am trying to get off the beaten track here. It's a city that gets an awful lot of hype!. London Two: " " " " " " "
Mexico: A fantastic country. It is varied in terrain, from leafy and lush rain forests to arid deserts. A really colourful place, a complete visual fiesta.
Pub: I took my camera in this pub on several occasions. I had fun snapping away. Nice thing was that the participants were really nice about it.
France and Paris: Great Country with a great vibe. I have to say it, although a bottle of really good french vino is rather costly they are the best wine makers. I really love France. Best thing is not only do they have a great sense of pride; but it is a country with a rough and ready as well as sophisticated attitude. Completely brilliant. The golden rule is to take France as you find it!.
Spain: Great country for backpacking holidays. Get yourself an unlimited tourist travel card, this means you can crash on the train if you can't find a place to stay. Fantastic and visually stunning place.
Collage An exhibition of collages that I made in the 1980's. I had great fun making them.
Antoni Gaudi: Brilliant architect and visionary.

Awards: Nice to have some recognition!

"I am a camera" said Christopher Isherwood in Goodbye to Berlin; indeed, we all are. Christopher Isherwood vividly recorded his images in his writing. No mean feat, when you consider the cinematic scope that his writing gives to the reader's imagination. Even so, photography requires imagination to produce a really good image. There was a time when I became a keen amateur photographer and took my camera everywhere I went. This is a major ingredient to good photography, as you would never know what you may stumble upon.

I do not take many photographs at the moment. It is something that has fallen by the wayside. The main reason for this is that I must have several shoeboxes crammed with photos. Roll on digital photography and the money when I can afford a digital camera.

The photographs on this web site go back to the late 1980's, the topics cover a wide range of themes, the main one of which is travel, it broadens the mind!.

...with electricity we extend our central nervous system globally, instantly interrelating every human experience...

Whilst the traditional approach to photography can produce good photographs; I like to be a bit audacious and in taking many photographs, I have been influenced by modern art, this will become apparent on the tour.

Why not correspond, exchange ideas and have a laugh; e-mail me glentour@freeuk.com and I shall look forward to hearing from you

C'est moi aged 18, I was studying Art at the time. My college friend was studying photography and took this really neat shot of me. I wish I studied photography!, but there you go.
