I don't mind people using my photos, but: please ask first.

 

If you make me a contact, but are a "greyface" and have nothing available for me to see, you are likely to be blocked!

 

Anybody that makes abusive comments on my photos WILL BE BLOCKED!

  

My life story - quite boring, really...

 

Started taking photos in 1983, in and around my home town of Harwich, Essex, UK.

My job with Trinity House from 1985 to 1992 provided several photo opportunities (ships, ships, and more ships!).

 

I was also sent to other places (Gt Yarmouth, Swansea, Penzance, etc) as part of my work.

In 1991 I decided to move to Gt Yarmouth (seemed like a good idea at the time). My photography became almost non-existent during the 90s, due to mortgage, relationships, debt, unemployment, other interests........

2005: The digital age re-ignited my interest in photography, when I saw that high quality photos could be viewed on a computer screen. I started by scanning negatives, then in 2006 I bought my first digital camera.
