Ever since I was a nipper I have been protecting someone. I was the eldest of four brothers and my mum was always telling me "Look after your brothers". Every day before we left the house she would whisper those words into my ear; it was like a mantra. Walking my brothers to school I used to let my imagination run away with my 'the baddies are going to jump out of that bush - you must protect your brothers'. And being a family of boys we were always playing kidnapping games and army games.

Looking back, my whole life has been my training for my job; I could not imagine working in a different field, it is so natural to me to be a bodyguard. The only job that could possibly be any more natural would be being one of my brother's bodyguards (but they are not famous enough yet!)

I was not the most academic of youngsters and after school I joined the Army. The Army was great, I enjoyed pretty much every aspect of it however after 3 years I wanted to get out and achieve something by myself. I already knew that I wanted to be a bodyguard.

As soon as I left the Army I joined the British Bodyguard Association and they advised me to take some basic courses - SIA Training and Close Protection Courses. The Bodyguard Training was pretty easy for me with my Army background, but there were still a lot of things to learn, particularly tactics.

The main difference between the Army and my bodyguard work is that being a bodyguard is almost entirely preventative work, whereas the Army is mostly proactive. There is a lot more independent analysis to do in bodyguard work and sometimes we have surveillance work to do, which I find particularly interesting.

It was 8 years ago that I left the forces, I am still undergoing SIA courses and am still learning; you learn something everyday in this job. Now I am about to start my own Bodyguard Agency.

Conclusion

Being a bodyguard has totally changed my life. It gives me a real sense of worth and importance. There are not many jobs that you can do that make the difference between life and death.

Dusting Off The Antique Cameras

Technology is improving every day now, and no sooner is a new camera released there is a newer supposedly better model in the pipeline. There seems to be an obsession with megapixels and cramming in as much as possible into a small place, which is not always for the benefit of the camera but it seems to pull in the consumers; I guess that is all that matters!

Megapixels are the big sellers for the cameras of today, but fifty or sixty years ago, a megapixel was completely unheard of. Any mention of a megapixel and you would end up being displayed in the town square as the village idiot. Of course if you started talking about the Argus C3 or as it’s more affectionately known, ‘the Brick’. The brick was made from 1939 and was manufactured for around thirty years. In that time, it became very popular with the amateur photographer, mainly because of its simplicity in its design. The camera became known as the brick, well for obvious reasons as you can probably see for yourself in the image.

I happened upon mine at an antiques fair a few months back, a dealer had picked it out for me. I had not seen one in the flesh before then and I can remember the first thing I said to the dealer when I saw it; “Ooh it’s a Brick, it looks ridiculous doesn’t it”, the dealer replied, “Yes indeed it does look ridiculous. Would you like to buy it?” Of course, I was in awe of its plainness, the square edges and of course its undeniable beauty. It is different than other cameras, not only in its shape, but also in its design.

By design, I mean technical design. It is like something that was designed with bits left out of it at the beginning so they had to be added later. The focusing mechanism consists of a toothed thumbwheel, which is linked to the lens via another toothed wheel between the thumbwheel and the lens barrel. The thumbwheel allows you to focus the lens. The C3 is a rangefinder camera, and unfortunately, the rangefinder is tiny. A small window about five-millimeters in diameter makes it a little awkward to focus. It also has a separate viewfinder which can be used if the rangefinder was not accurate, which in my case it was.

The thing with the C3 is that in its design it allows the photographer to adjust the settings of the rangefinder by adjusting the thumbwheel positioning, by removing it and then replacing it where the correct focus range is obtained. I loaded a roll of monochrome negative film into the camera to try it out for this article and developed it in my darkroom.
