Me........
Just a regular person, I love pizza with pepperoni, lucky number 6, my feet
get cold easily, I don't like spiders, or being asked "table for 2?" where its
plain there are two of us.
I first became interested in photography when I was studying Spatial Design
at University, and ran around with my Olympus OM40, always loaded with
Ilford Mono film. After Uni, a new career, new home, and shortly after a
family meant the camera gear had to go.
Now having more time and with the accessibility of digital, I decided it was
time to do something for myself that hopefully will be around long after I'm
gone. Photography to me is capturing a moment in time that can never be
repeated; about creating a reaction and stirring an emotion. Taking a picture is
one thing, but creating an image is demanding, its having an awareness of
composition, light, shadow, and the imagination to "see" the final image.
Some images are very graphical, others are very moody and lyrical, some are
fun. Whatever they are, I hope you enjoy. Please let me know so I can
continue to improve and develop.
