About

If you'd have asked me a few years ago about me and my photography I'd have said something deep, arty and philosophical because that's what you're meant to do when describing yourself as an artist. 

Really though I just like taking photos and I like travelling. The more I travel the more photos I take, and the more photos I take the more I want to travel. 

Photography was initially a meditation for me, a way to get out of my head and forget about my inner world for a while, and enjoy the simplicity of seeing rather than thinking.

I began photography at a time when I was fascinated by society, I'd reached a point in my life where people, society and the world at large had to be completely relearnt, like a person having suffered a major accident having to relearn to use their limbs, I found myself needing to relearn to use my mind and all of my senses.

That was then and this is now, I've been at it for 10 years and it's become such an integral part of my life that it would be impossible for me to separate myself from practicing photography in some capacity at least. What interests me photographically is constantly changing, not for better or for worse but every year I look back on the photos I've taken and see how my eye has changed. Some years I try to be more complex and clever with it but for the most part I find myself finding the most pleasure in very simple images. If something catches my eye I take a photo and don't question too much why anymore.
