I live in Cornwall and have a keen interest in Cornish minerals and mining. I have been collecting (Cornish specimens only!) for about 2 years now, when time permits. I'm a keen walker and photographer, which both happily tie into mineral collecting.
I enjoy 'trying' to photograph my specimens. Unfortunately the only way I can manage is by holding my hand lens infront of my canon ixus digital camera. This makes for a bit of a hit and miss approach, but occasionally I get an OK picture!

Tom Hardman's Blog
A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.
Tom Hardman's Articles
Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.
Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).
