Married 40 something IT professional and father of two wonderful daughters. I have always been fascinated by photogrpahy but my interest was no broader than holidays and other family moments. In May 2009 I bought myself a Sony A200 and I am now keen to explore the more creative side of photography. The photographs on this site represent my first real attempt to be more creative. I do hope to get some more lenses and equipment for christmas this year to explore the art of what is possible.

My current camera equipment consists of:

Sony A550 Body
Sony A200 Body
Sigma 70 - 200mm 2.8 Lens
Sigma 120 - 400mm 4.5-5.6 Lens
Sigma 10 - 20mm 3.5 Lens
