"For me, the camera is like a sketch book."
Henri Cartier-Bresson

A lifelong interest in photography, growing up surrounded by my father's cameras and experiencing the magic of the black & white darkroom. Originally from Bolton, England and having pursued a lifetime's involvement in the oil industry, I now continue to pursue my personal art and its inspiring process. 

I have travelled all over the world and had the great pleasure to see life as it should be. The camera is just an extension of my eye and creativity. 

My images are the result of many experiments and failures but as Charlie Parker said, "Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out your horn."

I hope you enjoy my work.
