Photo of a steam tractor in Dorset, U.K. I took this in the late 80s while studying photography at college & originally printed it in the darkroom on bromide paper. The sepia toning was added digitally.
As both of my parents were talented artists I have always had a keen interest in visual art. I studied art & photography to a tertiary level, but didn't persevere any further as I found that earning actual money was more appealing! Having grown up in the U.K. I migrated to New Zealand at 21, continuing with drawing & photography as a hobby while doing various jobs in which I learned a number of different yet complimentary skills.

I enjoyed processing & developing my own photos, like the one above, but it's time consuming, expensive & quite limiting by comparison. A camera cannot compose or visualise the image for you, whatever the medium it is that vision which is the root of being an artist, not quibbling over equipment & technique.

This is wonderful, Guy. I also have a steam tractor in my photography. Lucky you studying photography -- I learn by the seat of my pants.
Guy Pettingell replied:
Thank you Sadie, it was enjoyable, but half of what I learned is now pretty much irrelevant thanks to digital photography.

Steve, I have a steam tractor also in my artwork under autos and machinery. Check it out. These vintage mechanical creatures are just wonderful. Good shot.
