Richard's Photograph Album
Over the course of some years, I have amassed a collection of pictures. I displayed some here, hoping that someone would like some of them; and received sufficient encouragement to add to the collection as I have time.
Quality is variable, on account of things imperfectly under my control such as weather, lighting, obstacles and operator's finger. I make no claim that they are of professional standard, but such as they are, they are all my own work and I hold the copyrights.
