I spent 14 years as a professional photographer, the bulk of which was in the Royal Air Force.

Now I'm a physics undergraduate and full-time father so I don't have many opportunities to get out and about with my DSLR.

I have met some wonderful minds through Flickr who've helped to inspire me a great deal - you know who you are, and I thank you!

I hope my more unusual images will also inspire other people to have a go - so get out there and try it!!

After requests from publishers asking to use my images like I'm some kind of 'Publishers' Support Charity', I've recently taken to blocking users who favourite my images, yet have no images themselves.
Why would you do that? Unless you're scrounging round for free images.

Any publishers out there that would like the opportunity to use my images, it would be great Kudos for your portfolio and I promise to credit you...







Some places I've been to:



create your personalized map of europe



create your own visited countries map

I've also been to Ascension Island, but it doesn't show up on here - it's too small!

    "Writing this about Craig is long overdue. There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said, so I'll keep it short.
    Browse through Craig's photostream and you'll find a guy who loves his friends and family and has a whole lot of fun out of life while he's doing it. There is humour in nearly all of his photos so it's well worth the time taken to go through from one end to the other. It is SO good to see great photos from someone who is really enjoying themselves.

    Craig, sorry I didn't do this sooner."

    "Craig and I have never met, but began chatting 'virtually' some five years (or so) ago, due to a mutual friend.

    A couple of years ago, another friend introduced me to Flickr and it was there that I first saw some of Craig's work. I was, and have been ever since, very impressed. He has inspired me with technical and aesthetic ideas alike and always lends a helping hand with photographic advice - only too pleased to share the wealth!

    Craig, it's your fault mate, that I am stuck to this stupid computer keyboard for so many hours a day and get so much grief from my long-suffering partner Elena.

    Craig is another friend I hope to meet one day. Power to your lens!"

    "What can I say about Craig?
    Don't give him coffee or sugar.
    Craig has been a close and trusted friend for many years now, and I have deep and profound respect for his skills as a photographer, an artist, a musician, and an all round great guy.
    Craig introduced me to the wondrous hypercative pleasures of pocket coffee's, and he was the creative genius behind my wedding photo's back in September 2000.
    His fascination with technology and gadgets leaves me breathless, and I sometimes struggle to keep up with his techy talk (and I'm a collossal geek myself too).
    What a guy!

    Oh, did I mention he has a brilliant website at www.MarstonPhotog... ?"

    "Craig's sense of humor is what first got my attention and he has remained one of the funniest people I know on Flickr. He has a serious thing about the color blue and do check out the great IR pictures in his stream. A word of warning though: Craig always has to have the last word! Just accept that and you'll love his stuff.

    "It's always great to see Craig's photos, partly through them being so inventive and fun, partly cos they're so colourful (i hear pantone are in talks with him to licence some of the new colours he's discovered), and partly for his sense of humour evident in both his photos and comments!"

    "I'm new to both Flickr and the Pro world, but over the last six months Craig has been both an inspiration and support to me. His pictures are something I aspire to and his comments are always an encouragement! I met him simply because we use the same camera body, but now I value his advice above all else, and wish that everyone here shared his generosity and insight. I consider myself fortunate to know him and I hope that you enjoy his outstanding work as much as I do."

    "knowing craig means a lot to me.
    he saved my day many times with his wacky humor.
    he´s one of the funniest guys here on this flickr-planet.
    apart from that,he´s one hell of a photographer with an
    excellent eye for brilliant wide landscape sceneries
    and brutal good macro shots.
    he just kills me ,blows me outta my pants,
    when he´s doing some of
    his outstanding b & whites.
    i don´t have any idea how to create such beautiful b & w images.
    puuuh,good for me that i know him.

    watch his stuff and enjoy !!

    cheers, mate !!
    many thanx,guido !!"

    James Hollier says:

    "Craig's creative personality and avant-garde sense of humour, combines with
    his understanding of technology to produce images, that are not only fresh
    and exiting but extol all the traditional virtues of photography
    (composition, focus and exposure), extracting the highest quality from what
    ever photographic medium he may be working in whether it be digital or
    traditional."
