Barbecuechef

One of my other passions is barbecue/outdoor cooking. My wife and I were given a barbecue for a wedding gift in 1980 – a very unusual gift in the UK then. The first couple of attempts to use it were pretty disastrous, it wasn’t until we moved to South Africa in 1982 that we learned to barbecue properly and it has been a love ever since.

I can still recall when I received my first decent camera. It was my wife’s gift to me for my 21st birthday, an Olympus OM1n. I had always been interested in photography even as a child, carrying an old Kodak box brownie amongst others but the Olympus was my introduction to SLR’s and photography freedom. I still have boxes with thousands of old photographs and slides. I took the camera with me when I went to work in South Africa for a couple of years starting in 1980. I always remember that we left on the 3rd of April, the day after Britain declared war on Argentina during the Falkland crisis. That was when my love affair with Africa started although it would be many years before I could return. It was some time later when I upgraded to a Nikon SLR. When decent digital photography arrived, I took the plunge with a Nikon D70 which would have been around 2004. Nowadays I am still with Nikon, using a Z6 II mirrorless. I still retain a D7200 as my second camera as it is still a fantastic piece of kit.
