Growing up in the land of cream teas, and hockings ice cream just to name two delights which North Devon has to offer - surrounded by beautiful wild countryside and coast... a work opportunity brought me up to Bristol where I've stayed for just over 25 years now.

Although using digital cameras a little more now I still love experimenting with film cameras (the older and more quirky the better), my growing collection includes a Zeiss Ikon medium format folding camera rescued from a loft, an Olympus Trip and a Praktica (thanks Dad) and I've discovered that learning how to process and print b&w film is great fun and a good way of "switching off" from the hectic pace and sometimes stressful things that life throws in your direction.

Took the Bristol Photographic Society photography course in 2008
