Simon Firth became interested in, and subsequently hooked on the world of James Bond when introduced by his father to watch on TV Dr No and, months later, Thunderball. As a family, the cinematic experience of seeing The Spy Who Loved Me left its indelible mark. Moonraker further excited and by the time he had seen For Your Eyes Only, the focus of his future interests was sealed. An interest in art and marketing saw the creation of a collection of film posters and similar promotional material.While in awe of the present day's dissection of the subject matter of James Bond into its infinite parts; Clothes, Cars, Food, Drink, Books, Films, Graphic Novels and the multitudinous contributors and content makers plying their knowledgeable and artistic creativity to discuss such, it is the poster artwork that by and large was the greater attraction within.But following a love for Villefranche sur Mer and the surrounding countryside's impact on the James Bond films with previous books entitled Côte d'Azur and Italy, ensured that Simon would briefly enter the Locations department; with all due deference to those who have steadily worked their way up this explicit ladder.For all things professional, he is a self-employed contract Project Manager working in the Telecommunications and Media sector.
