A Yorkshireman by birth, happily transplanted to the San Francisco bay area 1996-2018. In mid-2018 I moved to North Carolina and then in 2025 back to the West coast in Salem, OR.

I've taught many people the basics of how to make a great image (rather than a snapshot), how to 'develop' their images to show the work at its best (I use Adobe Lightroom, with support from Photoshop, Photomatix, etc for some images). I have also taught workflow and color management.

I have spent the last few years working to make ultra high resolution images through gigamacro.com and remain active in the (remote) management. I was part of the team there made the world's first trillion (terapixel) pixel macro image in 2016, the Terabite (DuckDuckGo it!).
