I am a general photographer who has always refused to be 'put in a box' or classified in any specific genre. Having said that, I spend a lot of time walking many miles in the countryside and coast so I guess there is a predominance of landscapes simply for that reason. Where possible though I look for an alternative view or interpretation on the scene so my landscapes are often 'different' from the norm.

 

One of my good Flickr contacts once kindly said that I have 'A gift for making the ordinary extraordinary' and perhaps that sums up my approach to photography. If I had a strap line it would be:

 

'Trying to make something extraordinary out of the ordinary'

 

The emphasis of course is on the 'trying' part as you never stop learning and there is always a different view of the common if you look hard enough.

 

After many years in photography, I am still looking for the perfect picture!

 

I hope you enjoy browsing through my photo stream, and if you like what you see, please feel free to add me as a contact.

 

Here is a short selection of my pics:

Quite simply, Tellyazz's photostream is my favourite on flickr. Terry produces extremely high quality photographs, but more than that his photostream has such character it makes it a joy to look through. His photographs observe the subtle, poignant and often humorous moments that everyone else passes by. His landscape photographs are full of drama, spectacular lighting, and wonderfully serene moments. Looking at his photostream gives you in insight into the character of a great person that I'm privileged to know.

"Its not the song - its the SINGER". (Its not the camera you understand that makes the picture, 'tis the photographer). An over-used cliche as far as photography is concerned? Maybe. There are many photographers out there who don't subscribe to this point of view however - engaging in a constant race to buy and use (often badly) the latest gear, in a rather poor effort to make their imagery more pleasing. The truth, of course, is that the £3000 lens will make better pictures EASIER to take, but will not take better pictures. The point of all this wittering? Tellyazz. Tellyazz is one of those very rare photographers who seems to make the difficult skill of photography look ridiculously easy. A stroll through Tellyazz's photostream will show you exactly what I mean. One gets the feeling that if ALL Tellyazz had to take photographs was a box brownie, the images produced would STILL be worth seeing. Its a skill that cannot easily be taught this. It needs a certain type of someone, with real vision. Tellyazz obviously has this in abundance - a walk down a bog-standard road seems like an adventure - so many possiblities of images - photo' opportunities that most of us would simply never see, nor appreciate. I write this testamonial after another (slightly quirky) completely orginal shot appeared on the photostream of Tellyazz. A sublime shot. A Paris bench, in the rain. Sounds a bit dull? Go see for yourself. You'll not see another shot like it. Thanks Tellyazz. You are an inspiration. Keep up the jaw-dropping photography, and keep making us mere mortals eternally jealous! TBR
