I'm 41yrs of age, Born in England but grew up in South Africa. I now live perminantly in Finland in a small village Called Kuru, and Make a living as a Wilderness guide and photographer as well as run my own fly-fishing tours business www.freewebs.com/uivelonkierros
I also spent 4 months in Tanzania teaching wilderness & guiding skills to a group of rangers in the Serengeti and Gremeti national Parks last year.
I got into Photography by pure chance and only picked up a camera four years ago and am learning every day as we all do.Digital photography opened me up to whole new world,and as you can see by my photos, I Iike to play around with them. I just hope the images I take immerse you in the places I visit and see,just like so many other photographers do for me here on Flickr. All my images have been taken with a Sony cybershot dsc 707 which never leaves my backpack.It even went to the bottom of a lake last year and after a week of drying out is still with me through thick & thin.
Lastly I would like to thank everyone who has commented on my images since joining Flickr Whether constructive or negative.To all my contacts,firstly I wouldn't have you as contacts If I didn't like your work and secondly I am sorry If I don't comment on all of your work all the time but as you all know time is of the essence and its something I don't have a lot of here on Flickr.
And lastly I would like to thank my Darling Sofia for buying me this years PRO Account. May you & your families life be full of smiles.

THE ABILITY TO CAPTURE COINCIDENCES,TO COMMUNICATE EXPERIENCES AND TO SHARE THEM IS THE BEAUTY OF PHOTOGRAPHY,BECAUSE ALL IMAGES HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON -THEY LIVE BY FASCINATION FOR THE MOMENT.
IMAGES TELL STORIES,AND EACH IMAGE TELLS ITS OWN STORY.GOOD IMAGES RESULT IN THE VIEWER PROJECTING HIMSELF INTO THE IMAGE.
THE CLEARER THE IMAGE THE MORE THIS PROJECTION OCCURS,AND THE STRONGER THIS LANGUAGE WITHOUT LETTERS TAKES HOLD OF THE REVIEWER.

Amazing photographic talent - I never tire of looking at this great collection
Kind of hate writing a testimonial this late in the game. What can I say that hasn't already been said? Simon shoots light and processes it in a way that makes it create an ambiance in your brain. You need to wade in Simon's stream with the room dark so that what he has for you affects you properly. He has access to… Read more
Kind of hate writing a testimonial this late in the game. What can I say that hasn't already been said? Simon shoots light and processes it in a way that makes it create an ambiance in your brain. You need to wade in Simon's stream with the room dark so that what he has for you affects you properly. He has access to some of the most beautiful country in the world and brings it to us. Thank you for that, Simon.

It has to help to live in such a beautiful part of the world. However, there is beauty to be found around us all, we just have to look. You do a superb job of looking, finding, capturing, and presenting. Thanks for contributing to Flickr. I'm sure many people enjoy your work.
Read lessSimon's photostream gives us a wealth of forest, lake and minimal simplicity, all superbly photographed. His is the first of my contacts that I view. A breath of northern summer (without midges!). Thank, Simon, for the feast.
Simon immerses us in beautiful images that come from a magical world that has no clutter or pollution, just pure clean beauty!! He is also amazingly supportive and generous in his comments!
One of the most amazing things about incredible photography is its ability to transcend words. It is purely emotional and touches us at the core of our psyche. Simon has shown the ability to create and capture amazing shots with multiple techniques over and over again. I am inspired every time I see his art!
