The Photo Gallery

My first encounter with a camera – well what used to be a camera – was a tiny pile of metal rubble lying in a tray, resembling nothing that took or would ever again take a photograph. This was my father’s 35mm, bought on a trip to Hong Kong in 1972; repairing what went wrong and replacing every last miniature screw would take him about 15 years. Although now a relic, it still takes great pictures.

Fascinated and intrigued by what all those tiny pieces could do, when together, I developed a life long curiosity about photography. Five years ago, I discovered the digital camera; we fell in love at first sight. When we started Algarve Buzz, all the photos on the site were taken with our Canon PowerShot SD300, which we still use occasionally. But Last year a Canon SLR became part of my family, we’re hardly ever apart.

I often get asked about the photography on this site, so I decided it was time to dedicate a special place just for photography. Now that it’s ready, I take this opportunity to invite you to visit Edviges.com my personal photography site, where you’ll be able to see a range of photos shot over the past 12 months with my Canon SLR. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
