I'm from East Ham, went to Bradford Uni, Didsbury College, and for a short time was a school teacher in Manchester. I wanted to travel so I played drums on various cruise ships in the Caribbean (out of Miami), plus 2 trips to S. Africa. I met my wife on the Caribe and lived in Ft Lauderdale. Then we moved to Orange County in S. Cal. I started my interest in photography in Manchester, took lots of pictures and then it became a passion in the Caribbean. I now take pictures as often as I can of almost any subject.
