A solution looking for a problem.

No longer a beginner, I get paid for taking pictures. I'm great value. I work hard. I am structured and thoughtful in my work.

My photography is about light and people.

- It's about being there and being ready to catch the moments before they come.

- It's about that fringe between the image and the

viewer that has its own light.

- It is not a measured statement of what I do, nor is it about the technology of photography.

- It is the view from here.

- It is not a sadly honest statement of who I am - do I want

to be that embarrassingly boring? No.

- It is a diary.

- It is censored.

- It is sweetened.

- It hides much and points up what I want you to see.

I moderate Contemporary Scotland, Edinburgh Sculpture Guide and Scotland in Words and Pictures Pools amongst others.
