I like to travel. Used to paint and write, still live in the 60's maybe, but my wife and I (and the kids) try to do something about the people of this world that aren't as lucky as us.

Now a consultant - was a regional CEO, having spent over 30 years working in Europe, the USA and across Asia Pacific. Used to be a Board Trustee of Save the Children. Asia is our family "spiritual" home, although we now live back in Europe.

My photography? Mainly use Nikon, all digital for years. Eclectic. Depends on the mood. Usually like to find character if I can. Love colour - but also see strength in form and composition via black and white. Love portraits and drama. If I have any kind of "vision", it is about a "sense of place or personality" - what, where, when - in my best stuff. Always like to learn.

"Raw manifesto - no Zen

I need depth, texture and release from self-imposed geometrics.
I need mind, exchange, challenge and stillness.
I need listeners, followers, engagement,
where the symbiosis is complete.
I need art, technology, freedom,
and I need it all now.

There is always more.
There is now,
and then there is then.
Then yesterday doesn’t exist.

I need anger, life, change, and the chase.
I need love, and the energy to create.

I need need."
