A solution looking for a problem.

No longer a beginner, I get paid for taking pictures. I'm great value. I work hard. I am structured and thoughtful in my work.

My photography is about light and people.
- It's about being there and being ready to catch the moments before they come.
- It's about that fringe between the image and the
viewer that has its own light.
- It is not a measured statement of what I do, nor is it about the technology of photography.
- It is the view from here.
- It is not a sadly honest statement of who I am - do I want
to be that embarrassingly boring? No.
- It is a diary.
- It is censored.
- It is sweetened.
- It hides much and points up what I want you to see.

I moderate Contemporary Scotland, Edinburgh Sculpture Guide and Scotland in Words and Pictures Pools amongst others.

    "Max is an all-round good guy! His stream conveys his look on the wonderful area we live in and often offers surprising and inspiring angles.
    I'd be happy to commission him if I needed any work done and weren't so incredibly talented myself ;)

    (beware I'm biased because he bought me a Guinness in the pub ;-)"

    that girl from flashdance says:

    "Hmm, what to say about Max?
    I greatly admire the confidence he carries when speaking his mind. All too often on flickr people say the right things and are too afraid to be critical. Not so, Max.
    I see this as a great strength and I appreciate the time he takes to critique my images..even if we don't always agree!
    Visit the Wauchope set, these pictures were how I discovered Max's photostream and they are by far my favourite.
    Well worth digging deep to see some of the previous uploads hidden away in his stream."
