Hi Everyone!

I could spend days taking photos and looking at others, but sadly the real world requires me to pay it some attention! BTW If I've faved one of your pictures, but haven't left a comment, it's because I'll be coming back to visit and didn't want to just leave a 'great shot' comment! :)

Over the years my interest in photography has been up and down. At college I studied it twice, but apart from taking snapshots I kind of lost my way until something sparked my interest again. Then once I got my hands on a second-hand Canon 350D there was no stopping me.

I'm now re-learning all the things I did years ago when I had a film SLR and hopefully actually understanding things better now I'm more mature to understand it!

If this is your first visit to my stream, you might want to start with some of the pictures I like best first.

Some of my work is available for use on Getty Images.

    "I can't believe that this guy doesn't have any testimonials yet...

    If you haven't looked through Richard's photostream yet, I suggest you go there now. You will find some of the most amazing shots there. Whether he's dorking it up as a FuGgeR, taking self portraits, photographing animals, photographing children, photographing landscapes, objects, anything ... his pictures are incredible.

    Plus, he's one of the nicest people on Flickr :-)"
