Hello flickr people, I am a retired Photographer photographing Portraiture Bodybuilding and Weddings in he UK. After 35 years I have retired,

To me the rusty world of Urbex fantasy and textures are amazing and I love to do my own interpretation on certain images. The greatest period of Art in my view was the Impressionists and this is what pulled me into art when I was young, and I did paint in my younger yrs. It is this Impressionist look that has always inspired my heart (William Turner) and i love to see this look (HDR) soft look done well in photography.

I am a classically trained photographer and now im painting again, I have had a tremendous life with my Cameras and still do, now I am using brushes and Oils as well. Ive been very lucky to win over 100+ Awards (SWPP, Fuji Distinctions) inc my coveted three Fuji Distinctions awards. I see life through a lens step one composition is the step 2 prep the camera Take it..... Its a great Art im very grateful have this gift of the love of Photography i am HAPPY to be here amongst so many TALENTED Photographers..

Love the world around us and be happy...………… x
