'¿HOW 'S LIFE?

WHAT 'S LIFE?

¿HOW TO LIVE?'

(Message found stencilled onto a paramilitary mural in Belfast, 2006)

'The man who invented the camera has a lot to answer for, mon ami.'

(Hercule Poirot to Captain Hastings in the 1990 TV production of Agatha Christie's 'Peril at End House')

Books:

IN THE FIRST PLACE (2011, texts revised in 2013), TO THE COMFORT ZONE AND BACK (2011), IN PASSING (2012), WHEN LOVE CAME TO TOWN (2012), and I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH. IT MIGHT HELP (2013) are all available at:

BLURB (My apologies for the unattractive blue-greenish bias tainting the previews; it's caused by a bug, apparently, and I have asked Blurb repeatedly over several years to fix it -- so far without luck.)

Four of my photos are included in MODISMO: AN ANTHOLOGY OF PHOTOGRAPHY, by Kurt Nimmo (ed.) et al. (Blurb, 2009); and another four can be found in THE LONELY CHRISTMAS TREE PICTURE ALBUM, by Andreas Schmidt (ed.) et al. (Blurb, 2012).

There is more at facebook, and my less recent postings are still available at blogspot, ipernity and JPG.

Avard Woolaver kindly asked me to take part in his interview series. You'll find it here: 8 Questions for Norwegian photographer Lise Utne (November 2017).
