Al-fresco. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr


I am occasionally asked what sort of a photographer I am; I have no idea how to answer this question. Here are some of the things I don't do:

I don't do sunrises because I'm never up in time.
I don't do macros because I can't focus accurately.
I don't do wildlife because I haven't the patience.
I don't do portraits because I'm shy.
I don't do still life because I haven't the imagination.
I don't do motion because I haven't got the timing.
I don't do landscapes because I don't have the eye.
I don't do travel because I never go anywhere.

So, I'm not a very good photographer but I am trying to improve.

I take pictures on digital cameras. I use Raw format now that I've discovered just how quick and easy Adobe Lightroom 2 is to use. It's an expensive piece of software but it makes life so much easier. I also use a Leica M3 film camera, because in photography, easiness isn't everything.

Favourite photographers:
Henri Cartier Bresson, Saul Leiter, Don McCullin, Paul Raphaelson, Clay Enos,
James Ravilious, Alexey Titarenko, Stuart Redler.

    "Absolutely stunning photos of a stunningly gorgeous part of the UK - and some places beyond - from someone who writes as well as he "sees."
    Happy to see you here!"
