ABOUT DOUG
I was born in Liverpool in the 1950's and brought up in Toxteth and Wavertree until the 1970's. Unfortunately, my childhood was mainly non descriptive with the only apparent interest was football supporting the red side of the city which remains to this day. Met my wife Glynis in 1973, married in 1976 and happily remain so with three grown up children who have now fled the nest. Now a days, we live on the outskirts of the city.
My interest in photography only came about in 1980 when I purchase a Zenit 'E' 35mm camera and started to take an interest in trains mainly due to the 150th Anniversary of the Rainhill Trials at that time. Since then owned many different camera's continued to record trains as well as other subjects. Since 1986, a small amount of my train images have appeared in print with in 2018, achieved my ambition of having a book released of my images entitled 'Merseyside Traction'. Since then a further two books have been published. Now retired, although I still take train images, the emphasis is now enjoying life while I am able too with my wife and family. |
