Born in Scotland 66 years ago. Lived and worked south of the border since 1970. Studied at London Film School and University of Newcastle. Settled at Newcastle in 1988. Have been retired for several years. Reading and listening to music are my greatest pleasures, followed by travel and walking in the country. Have been interested in photography since my late teens and my work has appeared in magazines and books. Have been invited to exhibit at Berlin and Istanbul. I recently had a retrospective exhibition devoted to my early work last year at Newcastle.I contribute texts from old books to Project Gutenberg and he Baldwin Project. I also engage in print on demand publishing on a small scale.

I collect old illustrated books from the late Victorian and the Edwardian era. Have been compiling sets of my illustrations her eat Flickr.

I would ask all members to contact me for permission before blogging or adding any of my images to a gallery.
