I am a proud Liverpool (UK) Photographer who has been taking pictures since I was a child. I won the second camera I ever owned and I was immediately smitten. I love the idea of Flickr, it gives us the chance to share our view of the world with others - the similarities and diversity sit well together - irrespective of race, colour and creed - it is a huge, pictorial melting pot.

Photography has given me the chance to explore the other loves in my life too; my family, people, music, art, etc. I love the digital age and celebrate the popularity of our passion, I shoot Canon and Sony, I am not into techno lust - much prefer and admire those who push the boundaries of their vision and the capabilities of their equipment.

I would love more time for photography but find that I want to connect with others and share ideas, tips, hints, images and time. Flickr has introduced me to some wonderful people and I have developed both style and technique as a result of learning from their work.

I hope you find an image that appeals in my sets and hope that you enjoy browsing, comments are always welcome and I will always check out your photostream.

Further to all of this I was once a proud member of The fab collective - a group of Liverpool photographers on a mission to share their individual, and collective vision of their incredible city, with the world. If you are at all curious then please check out our Facebook page (it still exists) and our website. or Google us.

I use Lightroom for convenience and love Silver Efex by Nik for B&W but, ultimately the image is all important. My passion is portrait photography (in particular street portraiture) and I love the challenge of capturing character spontaneously. Thank you for looking - One Love.
