I worked as a photojournalist in Southern Africa, specialising in producing educational materials for governments and NGO's, including USAID, CAFOD and Christian Aid. I was also commissioned by the World Health Organisation and Food and Agricultre Organisation as a media consultant. During the 1980's I worked in community education in Handsworth, motivating different community groups to produce images for themselves. This resulted in a number of international touring exhibitions. As a lecturer in photography for 30 years, I have exhibited widely and have organised and run an exhibition stand at Focus (NEC), on an annual basis. Currently I am involved in documenting the Birmingham cityscape, with reference to cultural identity. I completed an M.A. in Photographic Studies at the University of Derby in 1991.

Flickr is my relaxation, having fun and not taking photography too seriously, but experimenting and playing with photography.
