People who point at their wrist while asking for the time… I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the T.V… remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
When people say ‘Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too’. Damn right! What good is cake if you can’t eat it?
When people say ‘it’s always the last place you look’. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their arses!
When people say while watching a film ‘did you see that?’. No Loser, I paid £12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
People who ask ‘Can I ask you a question?’…. Didn’t really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
When something is ‘new and improved!’. Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it.. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn’t be new.
When people say ‘life is short’. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s longer?
When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks ‘Has the bus come yet?’. If the bus came would I be standing here?
Just saying………

About Mark Winterbourne
A little about me … well, what can I say. I started photography back in 1979 when I was just 11 years old.
I was given a 35mm SLR Camera by my late Grandfather as a birthday present. The camera was a Russian built Zenit EM and built like a house brick. Many of my slides on here are taken with the very same camera.
My passion stemmed from my Grandfathers love of photography and in particular his fondness of the English Lake District. I will showcase his work on here in the coming months, but there are over 10,000 slides and I have quite a task ahead of me scanning them in.
In the late eighties and early nineties I moved on to autofocus SLR’s and began to accumulate quite a stash of equipment. In between my full time employment and sleeping I started doing small photographic assignments for freinds, family and small businesses.
In the early 2000′s I started using a digital camera and traed all my traditional film cameras in for more equipment.

I took an avid interest in aviation photography at the start of the 2000′s when digital cameras became more accessible. My enjoyment was taken up a level when I discovered I could mix my love of light & colour with aviation photography by taking photographs.
In 1983 I suffered a head injury which was diagnosed as a brain tumour. LIfe soon returned to normal in 1984 but in the early part of 2002 things turned nasty and headaches and sickness returned. To date I dont have a surgeon willing to operate on me and struggle by day to day. You will find more about this in my blogs…….
Nothing will stop my photography, not even this head injury….this blog reflects my day to day life as a person with an interest in photography….with a headache to match
Hope you enjoy….please feel free to contact me, anytime
