Everything deserves to be recognised; nothing should ever be ignored. Photography is the most democratic of art forms and the camera its great enabler..
Thanks for visiting. I am a self-taught photographer from South London. I began photographing in the 1980s but it wasn't until the advent of digital photography did this become an all consuming passion for me.
I have been around on Flickr in one guise or another since 2005, and you may remember me previously as [windscreen:fly]. Although this account was started in 2008, I cleared it all out and began again in Jan 2012.
I’m frequently drawn to things others wouldn't normally raise their camera to, or perceive a different, more abstract take on things. Shape, colour, texture, form and composition are all important to me. I enjoy portraying a graphical beauty or interest in my photography. There's an inherent beauty in almost anything, if you look hard enough, and I believe it's our task as photographers to portray it in the best way possible.
I believe it's easy to photograph the beautiful things and keep them beautiful; to document the interesting and retain the quality that makes it interesting. The real trick comes in elevating the ugly, the mundane, the abstract and the unnoticed into something beautiful or interesting in its own right.
