About

A bit about me...

My name is David Buchanan.

I first started taking photographs back in the 80's working alongside the official Photographer for the College of Technology in Belfast.

I also spent a lot of time in the Darkroom processing film and producing my own prints.

In the mid 90's I more or less just stopped taking photographs.
For reasons unknown, I simply stopped.

In 2010 I was on a 4 day trip to Paris. On the day I was due to fly home a Volcano in
Iceland decided to erupt, causing an ash cloud that grounded all Air Traffic in Europe
and beyond.

My 4 day trip had just turned into a 12 day one.

Wandering around Paris I decided to take some photographs on my very basic, not-so-smart phone.

I was hooked again.

These things happen for a reason.

I bought my first DSLR soon after I got home, learned how to work with digital files by looking
things up on the internet and I've been shooting when I get the chance ever since.

I use this website to show some of my work but I don't update it regularly. I upload my
more recent shots to my Flickr account which you can visit by clicking on the relevant link
on my Homepage.

Thanks for taking the time to visit,

David.
