About the author

Me (right) with my brother and our cameras.

I began taking photographs when I was about seven years old.  My grandparents bought me a little 110 camera to document the summer day trips that we took during our holidays.  During the next few years I went through a series of compact cameras (and formats) before receiving my first SLR as a Christmas gift a 12 years old.

Over the years my interest in photography continued although there were plenty of times when I put my camera away and got it our again.

Me (recently)

In about 2002, I had my first taste of digital photography with a Sony Mavica camera but quickly went back to shooting on film.  However, after printing the film I would scan the images and edit them in Photoshop to create new images.

It wasn't until about 2006 that I decided I would try digital again and went through a series of compacts before finally resting on my trusty Pentax K-x in around 2010.  I have to admit, I do love digital photography but I still happier shooting film.  I now use a variety of cameras to shoot my work including (the already mentioned) Pentax K-x, Pentax K1000, Qlympus Trip 35, Micropress 4" x 5" and Fujifilm F300EXR.

I have several fields of photography that are my main interests.  These include natural history, landscape and documentary photography.

My influences are numerous but include Jerry N. Uelsmann, Sebastio Salgado, Simon Roberts, Fay Godwin and Martin Parr.
