An avid railway enthusiast and unashamed train spotter based in Walsall, West Midlands. My primary area of focus is the naturally the West Midlands but this area extends northwards into Staffordshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. I enjoy photographing the modern motive power scene with particular attention paid to diesel multiple units and freight workings. Aswell as enjoying the modern scene I like to visit preserved railways and also spend, when time allows, tracing disused railways in the Midlands.

I have recently joined Flickr and have been astounded by the quality of Simon's work. Working with selected locations around the Midlands and further afield I have looked through his photostream and you can see his confidence and quality improving as time has progressed. Unlike so many railway photographers that put their photographs through several filters, thus creating something that is not quite as nature intended, there is beauty in his capture of the everyday railway scene. It is clear that he enjoys catching the extraordinary/unusual movements through his area but his forte appears to be in capturing mesmerising snapshots in time. Scenes that could so easily be overlooked have been captured on camera and we should all be grateful that there still remain enthusiasts that hark back to the old days of spotting. Thank you Simon for all that you have done and am sure will continue to do so. JM (Ripon, North Yorks)
