However, for the first three decades of my working life, the tools that could make this happen were industrial in scale and affordable only by producers with sizeable budgets; out of reach for the likes of me.

In the late 1990s, though, with the arrival of the digital age, new cheaper tools came on the market: desktop computers and scanners with software for image handling and sound recording, together with video editing packages for pulling it all together.

At last it was possible to make broadcast-quality TV 'on the kitchen table', and to use the internet to publish it. And so it was that, between 2000 and 2021, I made the 40 short video pieces I present here, all drawing on the assets in my archive.

I've arranged them under three headings: Digital Stories, My Photography Stories, and Talking Pictures.
