Brian Magor -
Biography
Retired in 2003 after 39 years teaching history and as a
Deputy Headmaster in a Boys Grammar School. Had cameras in my youth, but
have not really taken any pictures since the 70s - except to be told
occasionally to take "holiday snaps" while my wife, who has been a
photographer since childhood, took the serious photographs. Upon retirement
took up photography - this time digital - working my way up from a pocket
1.2 megapixel camera, which I lost skiing somewhere in Finland, to a digital
SLR - Canon 350D then a 400D. We share a Canon 100-400 USM Zoom lens.
Joined Hoylake Photographic Society
in the UK - now a club member of the PSA entering our first inter-club
competitions this year. Started entering international competitions in 2007
& was amazed to find myself in the 2007 PSA Who's Who! We joined the PSA in
2009 and set ourselves a target to get 10 stars in our first year - nearly
there! Don't always know what I am doing, but get good advice from my wife.
Didn’t think we took Photo-Journalism pictures until we went to the PSA
Conference in Yellowstone & saw some of the images that had been accepted in
the PJ competition – so we thought we’d give it a try!
