My favourite style of photography and the one that I try to practice the most is ambient light urban landscape, particularly at night and often within a historical context. However, I have no particular attraction to any one photographic subject, or genre, I do not believe that there is a right or a wrong time to take a photograph, nor a right or wrong subject. I just love taking photographs. I also derive great pleasure from being able to view and learn from the work of other photographers.
I am strictly a hobbyist photographer and have no intentions of ever being otherwise. I have had a number of my images published around the world, including by organisations such as the National Trust and the British Museum.
Thank you for viewing my photographs, your comments are very welcome. If you wish to use any of my photographs, please do not hesitate to contact me via FlickrMail. All of the images that you see here are entirely my own work.

Hi Everyone. . . I've know Gary for over five years now (he practices Judo with us @ Oak Park Judo Club, Walsall Wood, UK) and I can tell you "he's a diamond geezza". Gary is someone to respect and look upto, and someone who is hard working and always willing to help and support his friends and fellow 'judoka'. I've only just discovered his photographic abilities - having seen the photos on Flickr today for the first time (1st July 2007). . . but I'm sure you will agree with me, Gary has produced some excellent images here on Flickr. Keep on 'Clicking' Gary.
