Fred is a Lancashire man who bought his first camera from Woolworth's, the sixpenny shop. It cost 1s..6d as it was sold for 6d a part (back, lens and body) not sold separately!
A member of Lancaster Photographic Society, he has been photographer of the year 7 times and black and white 'photographer of the year' 10 times out of the 11 years since it's inception. He vowed never to go digital but in his 80th year the allure was too great for him, he dipped in a toe and then dived in. When he is not winning prizes he is advising others on digital editing and printing.
