About me



It is so hard to write something like this, you either end up sounding narcissistic or dead boring, neither of which will make you want to hire my services or look at my images, which is the whole point of writing it.

So instead of the normal I did this and then I did that routine, here is a bit about me that might make you want to explore a some more.

I’m a photographer, that’s what I am, it’s not a job or a hobby, it’s how I see the world and how I interact with it. It just so happens that I can combine it with a way of making a living by taking photos of things other people want photographing.

When asked “what do you specialise in, is it Weddings, Wildlife or Landscapes” I answer that “I specialise in taking great photos, the subject matter is just another part of the process”

I’ve been taking photos for over 20 years in what could be described as a serious way, although I rarely take thing too seriously, but I have taken photos of my life from a very early age and the last 20 years has just seen me refine my style and expand my technical range.

Outside of photography I’m a sort of “nearly is close enough” type of person, but with my photos I can never get them just to my liking, even my best award winning work still has me thinking I could do better and I really hope this will never change as it is what keeps me working so hard.

So if that has made you think you want to see more please feel free to roam around my site, i also blog and the links to them can be found on the home page.


If you feel i might be the photographer you would want to work with all my contact details are also reachable from the home page, i would love to hear from you.

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit...

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s ...

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever...
