Thanks for your visit. I've been fascinated in photography since 1981 and began with an awful 110-instamatic camera. I quickly moved onto 35mm; starting with a 'clunky' Zenith and then my parents purchased me an Olympus OM10. After a few years I purchased a Canon EOS 500N and then upgraded to the professional Canon EOS 1N. I then purchased my first DSLR the Canon EOS 20D and gradually upgraded my lens collection to include several Canon professional L series lenses.

I love travel and photography and find the two inseparable. I will photograph anything that catches my eye, especially if it's colourful or I can see good composition. When it's dull or grey or colour doesn't add anything to a shot, I will often switch to black and white.

I'm also proud to be a photographic member of the finest aviation team - AirTeamImages: www.airteamimages.com/index.php and have had work published in Aircraft Illustrated, Airports of the World, Airliner World and recently a front cover on Airports of the World - some examples:
