I am in my late 50's and work as a carpenter for my living. I have been into photography since I was young, My first real photo was of a canon at the Tower of London. It was black and white on 120mm film and taken using a Kodak Brownie that my mum gave me.

Many, many, many years later things have got a whole lot more sophisticated with the advent of digital photography and my ever growing knowledge of the medium. My main interest is catching a moment in time through my travels and discovering new places, both home and abroad.

I am only one half of the partnership with my wife Chrissie Shepherd (chrissiewight) well known for her images of nature and wildlife who is also crazy about photography. I will always maintain that even if you have only the shortest of an artistic streaks you can take a good photograph.
