My approach to photography is very simple; it is about BEING. By this I mean experiencing, feeling, sensing; immersing myself in and responding to whatever environment I find myself in.
Almost always the harder I look the less I see.
My photographic soul resides in the mountains, but Flickr and my friends here have helped me to transform my work over the last four years into a daily flow of fleeting moments and deeper insights.

A Couple of other requests
1) Please don't leave graphics, group badges or quasi medals in my comment stream. A thoughtful comment is like a bird in the hand ...
2) Many of my images feature people dear to me. If you are in the habit of adding them as favourites just for your collection without leaving comments or if you have nothing to share, then I will block you.

"I cannot think why I have not thought to write a testimonial about Ken's work before, his stream is simply amazing ! He does indeed 'touch' the light, again and again ! Nothing escapes his eagle eye, he has the gift to see things that most would miss ! I look forward always to his latest uploads, and I am never disappointed !!"

"I've been following Ken's work for awhile now and I can say that he is a TRUE photographer. All of his work is Film and as we all know that film isnt easy, but he manages to pull amazing photographs from his travels and without all of the manipulation of the digital age.
As his display name states, Ken is a true master of capturing the light that his soul touches and produces outstanding photographs (especially his mountain shots).
Ken is a great friend and contact and is always generous with visits, and I always enjoy his daily posts of past adventures.
Keep up the great work Ken!"23rd January, 2008

"I often spend many hours just flicking through touchingthelight's flickr photos as almost every shot inspires me and probably others alike, every shot is different and has its own unique appeal in which your mind becomes totaly lost in wonder and amazement.
I found touchingthelight after searching through flickr for shots for my group that best show the passion that people have for British National Parks, his photos shows this passion in a very deep and meaningful way.
Most of the shots he has taken are before the era of Digital photography and due to this you get the feeling of an amazing raw talent which needs no photoshop in order for this to be revealed, this now tends to be a rare wonder in modern photography.
Touchingthelight is one of-a-kind, and is undoubtedly one of the best photographers on Flickr and definately my favourate photographer in the world (in or out of flickr).
I recommend that if you have a few or more hours in which you are not doing anything, surf through his shots and I guarantee you will come out feeling uplifted and enlightened.
Time viewing his shots will be time well spent!
Thanks Ken, you inspire many!
