I have done many exciting things in my working career but my real
love is photography. I had my first camera when I was in grade
five. My first darkroom when I was in grade ten. I like to work
in black and white photography as I can control the entire process
from taking the picture through to printing it in my dark room.
Of the hundreds of negatives I have taken I have only printed less
than 1% of them. I do take pictures in colour but I believe black
and white photographs reveal the true composition where colour
sometimes masks or distracts from the presentation.
I love old buildings and history as they tell stories about the
area and the people living there.
I have only started displaying and selling my work in the last
three years and it gives me a good feeling to be able to share
my work with others. Most of my photographs I take are based on
a gut feeling. I have taken many photography classes and courses.
I know the rules of what is supposed to make a good image but the
ones I like the best are the ones taken on my intuition.
It is in my retirement that I have been able to pursue photography
as my life long passion.
