Living in Godalming, Surrey, UK, but Hampshire born and bred.

Digital photography is a fairly new hobby for me, so still a lot to learn, but enjoying it immensely. My Olympus mju 700 goes everywhere with me, but we've recently bought a Canon EOS1000D to play with.

My partner and I spend as much time as we can weekends outdoors. We enjoy walking in the Hampshire and Surrey countryside and visiting new places further afield.

However, in June 2008 I was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer, and have had treatment (surgery/chemo) which finished in November. Although not cured I'm feeling reasonably well, and have been getting out and about more with my camera.
Disappointingly I had to have further surgery in early March 2009 following a relapse, which is delaying my return to work, but I plan to be back part time soon. In the meantime I'm spending time getting to know my new grandson!

If you've enjoyed looking at my photo's, try looking at my partners' photo's for a different perspective on many of the same locations. He's to be found at

If you want to use any of my photo's please ask me first. I'm usually happy to oblige, but nice to know in advance to what use they are going to be put!
