Happy and healthy,so far, with an old passion for photography and a new passion for surfing - and not enough time for either! In my photography I'm still searching for that decisive moment,and in the meantime enjoying the ironic,amusing, and unusual side of people,things and situations,and the beauty that's everywhere if you look hard enough!

    "Right, here we go: Mike has been one of my most favourite photographers for quite some time. With a fine eye for quirky situations, his work is full of humour, startling colours and delicious blacks and whites, and I always look forward to any new postings from him... He also appears to be a thoroughly decent chap, which is... er... very nice... It has been rumoured by someone that the boot of his car is stuffed to the brim with props that he uses to set up some of those wonderfully unbelievable shots he takes. If I ever find out who it is, I shall give them a right earful... Keep up the good work, Mike!"

    Negative Vibes says:

    "Take a look at life through the lens of one of the wittiest photographers I've ever had the delight to know. The street belongs to Mike. His exceptional eye for the amusing, unusual and laugh-like-a-drain situations is matched only by his technical expertise in capturing them.
    Every now and then I tell him to publish.
    I'll now say it again - Mike, publish! (if only because if he does and is successful - you read about it here first).
    Keep doing whatever it is that you do Mike (I still think the force is somehow behind it). It truly delights me and all our friends on Flickr. Plumage big-time and may the force be with you."

    "sagasurfers quirky sense of the absurd, his painterly eye for colour and the celebration of Englishness all combine together to create some of the best street photography on flickr."
