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.

This is a review I left on Amazon for the Kodak C210R:

I'd read some very disappointing reviews of this camera, poor print quality, slow to start up and slow to print etc - not so in my case.
I'm a retired pro photographer, I'm going on a church Mission trip to the Philippines in July 2024, the areas we're visiting to deliver donated UK aid are in some of the more remote and poor areas. I wanted to be able to give some of the many kids who turn up at the distribution areas an instant print, they've seen their photos on the back of compacts and SLR's before, but as far as I know never had any prints to keep. I'd considered the other well known instant cameras, but this one seemed to be exactly what I wanted, camera and 2 spare print packs (60 photos in total) for £112UK. When it arrived, I downloaded the iPhone App, it immediately did a firmware update on the camera, so maybe this addressed some of the issues people had mentioned. In my first tests (sorry for the cat and dog photos, but they made good models!) I wanted to see how quick the camera started up (15 seconds) and then printed, first print from cold was 1min 20 seconds, the second print was 1 min 5 seconds. The selfie with the camera, was taken on an iPhone and then printed on the Kodak using Bluetooth, using an iPhone as a camera and then printing with the Kodak can give some stunning results. This is only a brief review, I've not mentioned the flash, selfie mirror(!), self-timer or the filters, you can get that info from the Kodak/Amazon website, my final word on this camera - the kids in the PI will love it!
