Well what can I really say about myself!!!  OK I will attempt to have a go.  Firstly, my name is Peter Killey and I was born at the Jane Crookall Maternity Home in Douglas, Isle of Man on Sunday 3rdJune 1962 (ouch).  I attended St. Mary's School, Ballakermeen High School and St. Ninian's High School until I left in 1978.

After I left school I decided to follow in my father's footsteps and became a carpenter/joiner which I did for a number of years.  In 1985 I then applied to become a Wholetime Firefighter and much to my surprise was successful, and basically that's where I am still employed to this day.  I am now a Sub Officer in the Community Safety Department at Fire Service Headquarters which is based in Onchan.

My main hobby/interest is in digital photography which began in 1999ish when I bought myself a rather cheap digital camera.  I was so impressed with the outcome of the images that I decided that if I bought a better camera and a better computer then hopefully the results should be better!  Well here I am ten or so years on and hopefully the images you can see on my digital photography website www.manxscenes.com are a little bit better than the first ones I took when I started this hobby all those years ago!

Obviously I am a Manxman and I am very proud of my Manx roots and my Manx heritage, so much so that I decided to build an Isle of Man digital photographic website www.manxscenes.com, so the whole world can see what I can see daily, in other words true God's country.

I am a very approachable person and I always enjoy receiving your emails and learning about my genealogy so please feel free to contact me, you can contact me by clicking here also please feel free to sign my killey genealogy log so I have a permanent record of your visit.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of sharing. What you have caught on camera

today is captured forever . . . it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything...”
