]]>Personal Interestshttp://www.harrisdesign.net/bio/personal-interests.htmlChris Harris2009-11-16T23:32:49Z2009-11-16T23:32:49ZMusic, particularly live music is my greatest interest; be it a local acoustic set, through to weekends away at major festivals such as Reading Festival.

A keen interest in the automotive industry; from motorsport, to concept cars, has led to visits in recent years to the Spa Circuit (Belgium), Nürburgring (Germany) and attending the Le Man 24 Hour race (France). Facilitating my interest in photography these trips allowed for extensive automotive pictures, my favoured subject besides landscapes.

In addition to running and cycling for exercise, other interest include; new and future technology and travel abroad (recently Nevada, Arizona and California, USA).
