Occasionally you hear such sad news that you can't comprehend or take it in straight away.
At our weekly five a side football yesterday, I found out that one of the lads, Paul, or Thommo to us, had suffered a heart attack on Thursday last week whilst enjoying a round of golf. Unfortunately he wasn't able to recover and despite being in the prime of his life he sadly passed away over the weekend.
Paul was only 40, fit and healthy, and was a truly grand bloke. I, along with most of the other lads who play football each week, have known Paul for nearly 20 years and can't believe he's no longer with us. He'll be very sorely missed by all of us.
There's an article about Paul in this week's online version of the Accrington Observer - click here: Paul Thompson
About Me
- Iain
- Over the last few years my interest in photography has grown, and I started blogging in early 2008 as a way of challenging myself to take more and better pictures, which I could share with friends and family.
I’ve been a digital SLR user since 2005 and over the years I’ve gradually acquired a number of lenses which has allowed me to try some different styles of photography.
After turning 40 in 2010 I've now upgraded to a new Canon 7D camera, so I've no longer any excuses for poor quality pictures!
I’ve recently joined my local camera club to learn more about photography, see other styles and techniques and get some feedback on my work. I’m also enjoying the challenge of the monthly competitions, both in digital and print format, which is making me think about presentation too.
I currently live in Blackburn, Lancashire with my wife Carole.
