Sheila's
Biography
- Hi,
my name is Sheila Haycox, retired and thoroughly enjoying
this status. I am 69, recently widowed with three
children, two of which are married and between them they
have four daughters and one son. My son Ian lives in
Brittany, France who has just renovated a gite. I live
in the West Country in the county of Devon . I also have
a Family
Site which displays photos
of the family.
- I
have several interests which include gardening, aerobics,
reading, crosswords, cooking; but my main hobby is
PHOTOGRAPHY. My interest in photography started in the
late 60's when my husband gave me a camera, mainly for
use to take holiday snaps and the family. However in 1986
I took photography up more seriously and joined Exmouth
Photo Group. Since then there has been no looking back. I
take photographs in both colour and black and white and
use either my darkroom or computer to produce my prints.
- I
am Secretary of the Exmouth Photo Group which is based in
Exmouth, Devon and this group is affiliated with the
Western Counties Photographic Federation. The Group has a
membership of around 45 members. This is where I pursue
my photographic interests. I enter club competitions and
also put work into the WCPF Exhibitions.
I
have had work published in the magazines Digital Photo and Outdoor Photography.
- Most
of my work is taken locally but I do venture to foreign
lands occasionally and have taken photos in India, China,
America and the Canary Islands. More recently I have been
on three Milsom & McGowan Workshops in Northumbria,
Isle of Eigg, Ireland and Harris in the Outer Hebrides which I
can thoroughly recommend. I have also been on Guy Edwardes workshops and London Pnoto Workshops. Please see my Links page.
- This
is my first effort in producing a Web Page and hopefully
I shall update the images at regular intervals so please
visit again.
