Describe your lifestyle.

"As I work part time my life is very relaxed. After retiring from the building world to pursue my love for photography, I'm told I'm a much happier person. But when it comes the time to be professional I would like to think I know my place and act as desired. With my work I am given the chance to travel the world and i can say I'm very much enjoying my life at the present moment, and I'm sure its all up from here."

How much time do you spend your main interests, and how does this compare to time spent on photography?

"Since my change in career the amount of time now available to spend on photography has more than doubled. Although I can admit that i used to spend far too much time snapping away when I should have been working hard at my old business."

How would you describe your social group?

"At my age is hard to say Ii have a social group, these days I try to spent alot of my spare time with family, my grandchildren are my life these days, so I guess you could say my social group is toddlers."

How 'tech-savvy' are you? Please elaborate...

"I like to try my hardest to keep up with modern technology, but it's moving at a ridiculous rate these days. But I can admit I still like to user old technologies, you young people don't know what you missed out on."

What are your dreams and aspirations/what would your ideal life situation be?

"I would love to be able to spend more time traveling with my family, exploring new cultures and experiencing lives less lived"
