Having spent the best part of 40 years looking through a viewfinder of a stills or video camera, sitting in front of a computer editing photos or videos, producing websites and managing content and social media accounts for organisations or individuals, it’s a very strange feeling to now say “I’m retired".

Despite no longer taking on commercial paid work, it’s virtually impossible to suddenly stop what you’ve been doing for the best part of your working life so, for the past few years I’ve been taking on work on a ‘pro-bono’ basis for church, charity or voluntary organisations. I hope that my experience, skills and equipment can now be put to good use by those who perhaps, don’t have the budget or funding to produce what they want or need for their media requirements.

Goodbye old friend

In 2011, I bought a slightly used MacPro Desktop to use with Apple Final Cut Pro 6. It was a 4.1 Quad 2.8 with a 120Gb SSD (still rare at the time) and 16Gb RAM, I seem to remember paying £1600 for it and I collected it from near Oxford. That Mac was my main video editing machine and it’s gone through many upgrades, the first was to flash the board firmware to 5.1, then a processor upgrade to a 3.06 6 core, then a RAM upgrade to 32GB.
