My name is Colin Smith; I have started this business wich is part time at the momenet, after family and friends said I would be a fool if i did not give it a go. So i have to thank them for giving me the push to start the business.

I would also like to give a special thanks to James Simpson, a very good friend of my son, for designing and building my website, a task I could not have done!

I have lived in Fishburn, Co. Durham for the last 25 years after getting married to Elaine, before that I was born in Sedgefield and lived there until I got married. Elaine and myself also have one son who's name is Craig.

As i mentioned before, at the moment this business is part time, as I am currently in full-time employment at a local quarry as a heavy plant operator, which I have done for the past 26 years.

I have had an intrest in photography since going to Sedgefield Comprehensive as it was a subject that we were taught which covered taking, developing, and printing photographs. Now that modern technology has taken a huge leap since those days, digital cameras and computers have made things a lot easier.
