I am a retired Professor of Modern History and until I retired I researched the long term effects of children in war zones. I still advise various NGOs on how best to support migrant and war children.

I have been a keen photographer since I was a child and I now use it, as well as my glass art, as an antidote to the emotional pressures of my work. As far as photography is concerned I have eclectic interests, but if asked I would say that B/W is my favourite. I have used Nikon cameras for a very long time and attended workshops at the Nikon school in London to learn how to get the most out of my latest. Well worth doing but still a lot to learn. I have recently purchased a Sony RX10mk IV bridge camera as a lighter alternative to the D800 but I still use the latter .
