In the early 1970's, my parents gave me a Kodak 126 cartridge camera. Hands up who remembers those? My passion for photography had begun.

I spent 25 years in the UK photographic industry, working alongside the likes of Fuji Photo Film, Kodak, Noritsu, Ilford, Canon, Minolta and many more.

In 2007, I met my soulmate, Linda, a New Jersey girl, we married and I moved to the United States. We reside in Pennsylvania, close to the borders of New York and New Jersey. Having been involved in photography for so long, it seemed that I only took photos, occasionally, whilst on trips or vacations, shooting mainly nature, landscapes and cityscapes.

In 2018, my wife paid a visit to a local animal shelter and returned with an American Shorthair named Abby. To keep Abby occupied throughout the day, whilst we were working, I hung bird feeders around the garden. Six months later, I found myself photographing the birds and wildlife whilst Abby could care less. Although, still, to this day, she talks to Mourning Doves.

I wanted to see if I could design and build, essentially an outside studio, where I could create a portrait, almost on a one-to-one basis of all the wildlife living close or passing by. Hopefully the results would have a more personal feel to them. I think they do; you be the judge. Hope you enjoy them.
