I like to take photos of anything that interests me, I like being able to freeze a sliver of time and look at it for as long as want.

My photostream contains everything from nature and landscape shots to street photography and holiday snaps. It's not a portfolio, just some where to get my photos online.

Just about everything I shoot is on film, I just love the tones and colours and just the "look" it gives. In 2009 I finally got round to getting a digital SLR so now I'm at least semi-digitized.

I use a trusty old EOS5, EOS10 and more recently a 40D with a 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.8, 100mm f/2, 70-200mm f/4, 400mm f/5.6 and occasionally a 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5

My other main cameras include a Voigtlander Bessa R3M with a Nokton 40mm f/1.4, a Ricoh GR1 and a Olympus µ[mju:]-II.

Some quotes that sum up photography for me:

"Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." - Henri Cartier-Bresson

"If your life isn't interesting, neither are your pictures." -Paul Jasmin

"I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs." - Winogrand

I live in Bedfordshire and work as a marine biologist.
