About me
I began snapping sunsets from my bedroom window as a teenager. That was 17 years ago.
From then was planted a seed that grew into a fascination with how much we miss about the world around us, and don't take or have the time to stop and appreciate.
The camera has been my way of capturing this 'world-view' - where you're hard-pressed not to find something worthwhile in almost anything.
And what is it about the humble photograph - that almost all over the world, has a universal appeal? An utterly powerful medium that all people seem to be fascinated by and relate to innately.
Discovering the SLR camera opened up a whole new range of possibilities, and I've only seriously been pursuing the art over the last three years or so.
I've always thought that it would take a lifetime or more to fully explore photographically everything there is on the British Isles. You will find that the emphasis here is therefore on the British landscape - from flowers to farmland, canals to forests.
My love of photography is borne of a love of the landscape, and for all those things that we pass by every day and never notice. My wish and hope is that I'm successfully capturing images that evoke the same feelings when viewed, as they did at the time of being there. There was a line in 'A Room With a View' when Mr Emerson declares, "I don't care what I see outside. My vision is within! Here is where the birds sing! Here is where the sky is blue!".
My entire purpose behind photography will be fulfilled if any of my photographs can somehow take the viewer closer to such an inner state.
