“Ask yourself, ‘Why am I seeing and feeling this? How am I growing? What am I learning?’ Remember: Every coincidence is potentially meaningful. How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world. Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level.”
Ansell Adams
My love of photography began as a student when I bought my first SLR when I was 18 years old and working part-time at Dixons – so yes, I got the staff discount! I was pretty awful and mainly took pictures of what I was doing, but that planted the seed.
The camera was put on a shelf when babies arrived and that might have been the end of it, but Covid drove a need and an opportunity. I needed something that would get me out of the house and I returned to my student hobby of photography.
I mainly shoot landscape images. The advantage of landscape photography is that there is often thinking time and it provides an excuse for getting out and about. I am exploring other styles and genres of photography, and will publish some of the results here.
My aim for this website is to share some images and learning. I will share some my experiences: things like trips, attempts at photographic styles, and my view on pieces of equipment.
I am also going to share some of my photographs, which you can find in the portfolio section.
Many thanks, hear from you soon and take care.
