Photographer & Traveller

How it started...

Thanks for finding me, and thanks for visiting. I've been messing around with cameras for nearly 50 years in some shape or form. It's highly addictive. I also have a fascination with film, and after years in the digital wilderness I started using film and chemicals again. You'll find my pictures here, taken on a variety of formats using several different cameras. You'll even find pictures where I've use digital cameras.

I'm also retired and have far too much time on my hands so I travel whenever I can. No, I don't do cruises or things like that because I don't have deep pockets, so I travel on my motorbike - which is another of my addictions. It's also cheaper and more fun... In the past few years I've travelled far and wide, and everywhere I go I take pictures, so this website is also a place for all my travel pictures.
