About me

After a career in editorial photography, I have slowed down work wise to do my own projects. I have been working on 'Community' (See OwnWork) as seen through the lens of a rural village hall and comparing with an urban community centre. I have done pictures of the demolition of the iconic Radcliffe Infirmary, (see Coming Down ) where penicillin was developed. Then there are the street, travel pictures.( See again Own Work) I am also working on a set of landscapes that include a time element after seeing David Hockney at the Tate. During my travels for various national publications I collected pictures of scarecrows, rural sculptures with attitude!!!(See Scarecrows ) Then there are pictures of the rural village fete what a pleasure .(See these in Own Work)

I am trying to make the ordinary interesting, capture the mundane and unspectacular, the quiet moments that make up an everyday life or environment.The moments when we are there but not there, the individual in the crowd, the silence between the words.
