Welcome to my site, an original creation by me, James Bartosik from London, England. My site has been going since 2000 in different styles and stages of evolution. Since June 2011, I have two websites:

• http://bartosik.org, My main website, with formal photographic content.
• http://jamesbartosik.com, My personal site with sporting and athletic endaevours.

Other domains / sub-sites:

• http://chessboxingphotos.com, A portal site of my chessboxing photographs.
• http://nordkapp5000.com - A 5,000 mile overland trip to 72° North in August 2012.

In my photography, I use a variety of camera equipment which include film media which I'm passionate about using, and am convinced still have their place as a format for artists in this digital age. My particular favourites is Fuji Velvia.

My bartosik.org site is backed up by the British Library's Web Archive, to preserve Britains digital history - "websites that publish research, that reflect the diversity of lives, interests and activities throughout the UK, and demonstrate web innovation." (click here for archive of my site)

About me
I'm a keen amateur athlete and run for my local athletics club and compete in races from 800m to multi-day ultra marathons. I also enjoy climbing, paragliding, cycling and many other outdoors pursuits. I enjoy listening to heavy metal music.

Contact me
Please e-mail me if you have any questions. I am not a member of Facebook or Google+ and I like to avoid social network tools, but I do use Twitter from time to time.
