Index of early sets
Listed below are 47 sets of photographs that were taken by Malcolm and represent the period of twenty years from when he started photography in 1953. Having been kept as a jumbled collection in a shoe box, they have been re-assembled into sets some 60 years after they were taken. Although efforts have been made to establish their correct sequence, it is likely that some are out of their chronoligical position. Also, the quality of some of the earlier photographs can be seen to be quite poor.
In 1960, Malcolm started taking photographs on colour transparencies in addition to the negative film. They cover a period of about ten years and number just over 1000. Many of them feature in the the holiday sections of this biography.
From September 1975 he started to index his photographs properly and kept the negatives stored in sequence. This accounts for 837 rolls of film, therefore about 25,000 individual photographs taken up until April 2003. Besides the usual 'family snaps', Malcolm engaged in a number of photographic projects, details of which are covered in the Hobbies section of this biography.
Malcolm started to use a compact digital camera in the year 2000 and, after 2003, that remained his sole instrument of photography.
