DAVID BREWER

I would describe myself as a keen amateur photographer of mature years. My late father once told me that I had my first camera when I was four, but the first I can actually remember was when I was seven and that was a Brownie 127. I was then given an Agfa Sollinette. At the time, on a school holiday in St. Mary's bay in Kent, I dreamt of one day having a camera that could ‘zoom' from very wide to telephoto without having to change lenses, and could take thousands of photos without having to change film. I was eleven - little did I know that 45 years or so later, we could all have such a camera, and many photographers, of course, do.
