My name is Chris Thomas and I live in Barry, which is a town in the county of the Vale of Glamorgan, in the UK, and welcome to my website!
I have been very interested in art and photography for many years now, since studying it at school, and really enjoy taking photographs whenever I can. The Photo Galleries that I have online (hosted by Pbase.com) are a wide and varied collection of photographs taken in the last few years with my digital camera! I hope you enjoy them - if you do, your comments in my guestbook are always appreciated.
The whole concept of me having my own website was something that just happened early last year. Never before had I shown an interest in any aspect of wanting to do something like this before. I’d done some website development in work, but never personally for myself. I think the idea began when my uncle had uploaded a few pictures to the Pbase system, and had shown them to me. It seemed an ideal, and professional way to present and show people photographs without having the need to email them lots of files. Visit www.pbase.com/aviator to see his photograph galleries. I got hooked pretty quick to Pbase, but soon realised that I didn’t want my galleries to look the same as everyone else’s, so I designed my own graphics, which I’m constantly changing and improving, and learnt how to create style sheets in PBase to make my pages unique with my own headings.
As a career I have the pleasure of working with a wonderful team of colleagues supporting IT in the schools in this authority, where we provide technical support and assistance in every aspect of modern day information technology. I have also been teaching Adult Education classes in the evenings at a local high school for the last five years, where I have taught a variety of computer classes including, Microsoft Office, Corel Draw and now currently Digital Photography and PC Maintenance . Those attending my nightclasses will find the Nightclass Resources section of this site very useful, as there are a variety of downloads available, plus a whole host of other related information and advice.
My interests naturally include digital photography and computers, but I enjoy country walking with my good friends Rachel, Richard, Huw and James. Rachel and Huw I originally met through my nightclasses and have in recent years have been kind enough to welcome me on several of their fascinating walks through the countryside. Never did I imagine that we had so much beautiful scenery literally on our doorstep! Also when the weather is good, and I get motivated enough, I do enjoy the occasional cycle ride on my mountain bike – but definitely weather permitting, and not as much these days as I should!
If you want to contact me, you can email me or with MSN Messenger and my email address you will probably find me online at some stage!
Enjoy your visit...
