The Author:
There is only one way to describe the early years of childhood for the author, varied and interesting. In the aftermath of the baby boomer generation Lionel's family was travelling which meant that different schools and classmates were just as challenging as learning about new cultures and countries. It was no surprise then that his career path took him to the Royal Navy and aviation as an avionic systems engineer and travelled extensively on missions to so many places that his passport was one big visa stamp. On his travels a camera was always to hand and photography was more than a way of life as he captured images wherever his overnight bag landed. Lionel was eager to work in photo-journalism and was successful in having several articles published in magazines. There was to be no fairy tale success story here though and a new career in project management beckoned. Over the years a catalogue of images needed to be sorted and displayed. Photo-albums were the answer.
