So I am something of an Anglo/Canadian hybrid, and am very proud of that fact. England is my home, but my heart and soul belongs to the land of maple leafs and Canucks.
With a family residing on Vancouver Island, Canada, spread out from beautiful Sidney by the sea and Downtown Vancouver, to Nanoose Bay, it's probably not surprising that my photographic first loves include sunrise, sunset and water based nature frames. I consider myself more Canadian than English, with a deep and abiding love for British Columbia and Vancouver Island, Mother nature and all her beautiful offerings.
Passionate about all things photographic with a love for Mother nature and the beauty of Little Earth, I first picked up a Box Brownie with 120mm roll film at the age of seven and have had the bug ever since.
I am a lifelong Nikon user, though I'm never happier than when any make or model is in my hands, hailing from the days of the dark room and 35mm film cameras when I began shooting London scenes, vagrants and landscapes.
I am now older and hopefully wiser, though my love for photography is still as strong as ever, and I enjoy nothing more than to talk EXIF data and f stops with anyone who will give me the time of day.
I love life through the lens and believe that photographers truly view the world in a different way to others, savouring the minutia of detail that abounds, seeing the 'whole' picture in life's scheme of things.
