Let's get the work stuff out the way first. I'm a freelance photojournalist, novelist and screenwriter/director who gets a kick out of almost anything creative. The more the merrier.

I rekindled my love of photography, armed with a new Canon 400D camera, in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa the first few months of 2007. I ended the year travelling round Mexico with my family, which was great fun.

Humbled to see people are taking the time to look at my photos and welcome comments, good, bad or indifferent.

I can't wait to spend more time flicking through other people's photos now I am back in the UK.

Take it easy and keep it real in '08.
