Shooting at Prescott hill is always a pleasure, if you haven't visited yet I encourage you to try 'The Hill'

This year (2012) I will be supporting the The Donkey Sanctuary charity in the UK that care for animals to make sure they live a happy dignified life.

100% of EVERY sale will be donated to the charity to help them continue their valuable work.

Based in North Wiltshire, UK. This photo stream is the resulting work of when 'camera met petrol head'

In my much younger years I spent a good few years as a motorcycle dispatch rider in London, covered many 100,000's of miles in total, crashed a few bikes and been knocked off too many times "sorry mate, I didn't seen you" It's said there are two types of dispatch riders, lucky ones and dead ones! guess I was a lucky one! Owned many bikes in my years, none ever remained standard! don't have one right now, but I'd like to get either a KTM super moto 990T, Triumph Daytona or KTM RC8 R.

Worked with German cars most of the rest of my life after I gave up dispatch riding, been doing that for over 20 years now. I feel most at home at a race track with camera in hand and cars or bikes as my prey :-)

Photography has always been a passion since way back... never forgot the time we stuck a Cokin starburst filter in front of 110 camera and was blown away with the results! that was over 25 years ago!
