“I see, I shoot, I love”

I'm an amateur photographer from Belfast. I achieved my Licentiateship with the Irish Photographic Association (IPF) a number of years ago. I was also recognised for services to photography by the Northern Ireland Photographic Association (NIPA) through my involvement as secretary to the Belfast Photo Imaging Club (BPIC). As secretary of BPIC I encouraged the club to join the IPF, and we were the first club in Northern Ireland to do that. I'm currently a member of Catchlight Camera Club. Some really great friendships with truly decent people have been made through the clubs.

My favourite part of the world is Ireland, my home, and particularly Co Kerry - just a pity rain didn't stop play so often :) I shoot anything but I'm happiest shooting architecture, flowers, and churches - an eclectic mix!

Kit-wise I use a Nikon Z8 and an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

This site is really for me and for my kids down the years - it's not for the likes! I'm hoping my kids might appreciate that I did have a little bit of artistic flair even if I'm rubbish at drawing! Remember, that like a photograph, you're the energy, the light, and the magic in someone's world - my kids are mine.
