Welcome to my flickr page!

Some things you might want to know about me as a photographer

— Photography makes me happy

— I'm self-taught

— I’m more interested in the art of photography than the business of photography

— All income from my photography goes to charity: water

— I want to *make* photos not *take* them (hat-tip to Ansel Adams)

— I believe that vision trumps technique, imagination trumps rules.

— I don’t want to be known for a particular subject or style

— I only keep colour in the shot if it’s truly adding something

— I think a photograph is an interpretation as soon as you’ve taken it. As soon as you click that shutter you’ve edited the scene. If you continue to edit through traditional darkroom or digital darkroom that’s completely fine with me.

"Of course it's all luck" (Henri Cartier-Bresson)

This is the photograph that began it all.

Apparently some of my photographs are interesting!

Thanks for stopping by!
