THANK YOU for taking the time to visit MY Photography Page.
Kennet & Avon Canal, Wiltshire
I appreciate there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of photographers out there, sharing their images with the world, just for the sake of sharing. I am no different and what's shown in the galleries that follow, represent just some of my images I would like to share with you. I must profess freely, that the possessive MY Photography, is undeniably selfish, as some of the images in the galleries were taken by my ever patient wife. Without her contributions 'off-camera', there would be no emilebaudot photograph.
As you will see, my interests centre around two main themes: nature and the world around us; although occasionally I do throw a little black & white or mixed imagery into the mix. But let me stress - I am very much the amateur, and employ photography to complement a penchant for the great outdoors. Nevertheless, I do enjoy the challenge and dynamic that photography brings to the table; and of course, the personal satisfaction in sharing the results. Combined - it's a great way to keep the mind, body and sole active.
The individual galleries provide a personal record of our physical and/or earthly engagement with a time, a place and a subject. The opportunity to now share these images with you, is very much the icing on the cake and wraps up our avocation nicely. So I truly hope you enjoy the images posted under: emilebaudot.
Before diving into the galleries, I should mention why I choose to use the pseudonym - emilebaudot.
Jean-Maurice Émile Baudot was a 19th Century French telegraph and telecommunications pioneer, whose name was later given to a French cable ship, built for maintaining French and Anglo-French communication cables. However, during the beach evacuations of allied troops from Dunkirk in 1940, the vessel was pressed into service by the Royal Navy and it’s this link that connects to me to the name.
Sharing these images with you, is an opportunity for me to extol the memory of a wonderful man, who served a significant amount of his WW2 Royal Navy service, on board the HMCS Emile Baudot: My Father. He was the very best of men and taken before I could say goodbye.
