afrophile, outdoorsman, hater of tv, a lover of open spaces and peace. i live in cambridge - an amazing town amongst the vast skies and windblown countryside of east anglia - and herefordshire - my contrasting but very much loved home, a more intimate place of rolling hills, greenery, scenery and cosy country pubs.

aspiring photographer, but sadly stuck behind desks all too often. occasional sojourns in africa provide much-needed relief from staple plastic western ways and desk-drudgery.

I'm new to this flickr thing. And indeed, my camera: a canon eos 30d. It is quite an adventure for me...

I looked through my photostream, and it seems I'm into wild and lonely landscapes - perhaps that connect us up with deep dark spaces in our souls? I guess my favourites are those taken on the most blisteringly cold, dark-drawn and embattled winter days. Not sure what that means...

Maybe it is as CS Lewis once admitted: when asked to set out his beliefs, he remarked that he never felt less sure of them than when trying to speak of them. Words can be a frail means to express what matters, to express true feelings. Does a photograph do this any better? Is it, as Robert Adams suggests, the photographers gift to see what will be affecting as a print? (cf Robert Adams, "Why People Photograph", Aperture, 1994, p35).
