<hr>
English/American Real Estate and media person based in [[Wisconsin]], USA, formerly a London real estate lawyer.

I enjoy creativity and my family. I have been a writer, radio broadcaster, photographer, and a newspaper editor. I was co-chairman of the [[Betty Boop]] Festival from 2010 to 2018, dedicated to helping boost my home town of [[Wisconsin Rapids]] by bringing in visitors, celebrating the work of one of its sons ([[Grim Natwick]], original top animator of Betty Boop), and educating children and adults in animation, art, and cartoon history. I have been on various non-profit boards including Wisconsin Rapids Children's Museum Inc., the Central Wisconsin Literacy Council, the city's [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|ADA]] Advisory Board, the Board Of Trustees of [[McMillan Memorial Library]] (past President), my [[ELCA]] church's Worship Board, and Friends Of Rapids Music. I am currently on the board of Wisconsin Rapids Community Theatre (President), Central Networking (past President), and serve on the Wisconsin [[Realtor]]s' Association's committee for [[Diversity, equity, and inclusion|Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion]]. I am a member of Mid-State Poetry Towers, and River Cities 'Riters, and the [[Rotary International|Rotary Club]].

==Writing==
I started writing book reviews for my youth club's magazine ''Explorers Bulletin'', when I was a boy. My first paid writing was in around 1983, when I started writing music reviews and articles for ''Musicnet'', the music magazine of [[Prestel]]. I edited the Trent Players' magazine ''Trent News'', and wrote many articles for this. I have had reviews published by ''Celestial Toyroom'', ''Cybermag'', ''Outpost Gallifrey'' (an excerpt from which was featured in the Daily Express) and the BBC's own website. While studying for my MA, I edited the Birkbeck College magazine, [[Birkbeck_Students%27_Union#Lamp_and_Owl_Magazine|Lamp And Owl]], wrote some articles and contributed photographs. I have written many reviews for ''[[Amazon.com]]'', ''[[amazon.co.uk]]'', and the ''[[Internet Movie Database]]''. I have contributed many hours of writing and editing to ''[[Wikipedia]]'', and several articles for Axis magazine between 2004-2008, and had an article on the dreaded 'Home Information Packs' published by [[Solicitors Journal]] in 2008. I have written many articles for various news organisations and journalists, including political opinion, "how-to" guides, and reviews. I had a regular column "A Different View" in 100 issues of the Voice Of Wisconsin Rapids newspaper for four years and occasionally provided arts reviews and interviews for that paper. I also wrote political and other articles to order. I wrote scripts and directed video's made by Hearts Media and interviews for a Central Wisconsin news site ''Life At The Center''. I was founding and managing Editor of the [[Wisconsin_Rapids,_Wisconsin#Print_media|Wisconsin Rapids City-Times]] from 2013-2014.

==Photography==
I worked as a portrait photographer, and have had pictures published in local newspapers, maps, and over 3,750 on [https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104670132175329796433/photos/@44.4612512,-89.8398432,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m3!8m2!3m1!1e1?authuser=0&entry=ttu Google Earth], with over 59 million views. I have had many photographs in my city's weekly papers. My pictures have been used in nine election campaigns, company and church newsletters, real estate agents, the website for [[Fleischer Studios]], radio stations Y106.5 and Mix 96.7 and bands' Myspace and facebook pages. My pictures have been used by a London newspaper and a London radio station. I have also taken pictures on both a paid and voluntary basis for many local organisations and charities. In 2012 I came second in the "Best Photographer/Videographer" category in the People's Choice Of South Wood County awards. I taught photography for two terms at the outreach department of the [[University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point|University Of Wisconsin (at Stevens Point)]].

I started taking photographs when I was a child, and during a photography course aged 11 became fascinated with the photography of my London surroundings. I took a set of transparencies of North West London in 1978 of which I am very proud, including some of the [[Trellick Tower]] and [[Kensal Green Cemetery]].

I developed the digital process which produces 'reflectograms', a digital art made by capturing textures and colours and then reflecting them. My art is available on [http://www.fotosbyf.com Redbubble].

==Broadcasting==
In the 1980s, I ran and DJd on a pirate radio station "Radio Enfield" with a friend, playing mainly old music but also contemporary songs. I have also DJd for parties and clubs. From 2010 to 2013, I worked for [[WHTQ|Mix 96.7]] in Central Wisconsin where I had two shows at the weekends (Saturday 2-8 p.m. and Sunday 11a.m.-3p.m.) until December 2012 when the station closed.

==Qualifications==
First degree in [[English Literature]] from [[Birkbeck, University of London|Birkbeck]] College, [[University of London]] where I studied black British writing, post-colonial writing, Shakespeare, classical epic and [[science fiction|science-fiction]] under (among others) Professors [[Isobel Armstrong]] and [[Roger Luckhurst]], and an M.A. in History Of Film & Visual Media, also from Birkbeck, where I studied under Professors [[Laura Mulvey]] and [[Ian Christie (film scholar)|Ian Christie]]. My research report was on recovering our lost television heritage and my dissertation was on [[deaf]] people's access to television and film. My M.A. was presented to me by the late [[Eric Hobsbawm]]. I am a member of [[Convocation]] of the University, and was on my college's [[University Challenge]] team in 2001. I obtained my Wisconsin real estate licence in 2018 and my broker's licence in 2022, followed by the [[National Association of Realtors|NAR]]'s At Home With Diversity and Commitment To Excellence certifications (both 2022). I obtained my ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) designation, my LGBTQ+ Ally Certificate and my [[Dave Ramsey]] RamseyTrusted designation in 2024.

==Personal==
Married, living in Wisconsin, USA with my wife, son, and four step-children. I enjoy singing well and playing instruments badly. My brother is the "Wizard Of Wikipedia" [[User:Rich_Farmbrough]], one of the few humans to make over a million edits to Wikipedia. Distant cousin to Detroit Spinners member [[Henry Fambrough]], photographer/writer [[Florence Farmborough]], photographer [[William L. Fambrough]] and American [[Nigel Molesworth|foopball]] coach [[Don Fambrough]]. Descendant of [[James Flawn]] and the late Mayor and Sheriff of [[Worcester, England|Worcester]], [[List of mayors of Worcester|Edward Wall]].

==Wikipedia contributions==

While not being as prolific as my brother, I have made over 7,000 edits to Wikipedia since 2005. I wanted to contribute photographs, but unfortunately, Wikipedia's requirement for me to lose ownership of my pictures and the way that policy is enforced dissuade my wholehearted participation.
