Hi all,
This is my second profile write up, The first i mentioned i was just starting out, This is no longer the case. I've been taking photo's for a year now and by no means think i know it all. Probably never will..lol in 2010 i start a sponsorship deal with Ducati riders Tim pritchard and Tom Parkes wich gives me the opportunity to shoot trackside, This has been a goal of mine since starting out in photography. I'm a massive motorsports fan and 2010 should be a dream come true.

Altough i shoot alot of motorsport i like to shoot lots of other subjects too, MMA, landscapes churches, my family and almost anything else that catches my eye.

In 2010 I've set myself some realistic goals two of which are to make lots more friends on flickr and getting a decent website up and running.

Flickr has been a massive help to me and to be honest i dont think i would still be taking pics or gone as far as i have if it was'nt for all my friends on Flickr.

At the moment i'm studying photography at John Leggott College in Scunthorpe, Learning loads from our awesome tutor Simon Boone.

Recently a Flickr friend Matthew Dutile posted a video on Facebook which i thought was amazing. If like me you sometimes think of selling all your gear to take up knitting or extreme ironing then this vid is for you.

    I am in love with his panning Technique, he is really taking his photography seriously & diligent in heading to the next level.

    I love it that he is teaching himself which is something that I admire because I have done the same. ,';0]...

    I have found a fantastic Friend / Contact in Rick, he is very supportive of my work & others.

    I look forward to seeing him doing big things with that panning, he has been accomplishing what he set out to do, Congrat'z Rick & I pray your back heals perfectly & you fulfill your dream of photography...
