This is a personal site and an ongoing learning experience, so I'm not apologising for the rough edges and breakages you may find if you've stumbled across it. The idea is to present my work of various kinds without any pressure to be commercial, and to have a place to explain why any of it exists. If you only want to look at the pictures, go here.
I've never done much travel before, but now I've returned from a jump in the deep end in the form of three weeks in Peru.
We spent a few days in Lima, staying with a family who have become extremely good friends, before taking a road trip around the southern areas. Cusco, Machu Picchu, Puno, Arequipa, Nazca, Chincha and El Carmen, and back to Lima. We also experienced a Peruvian wedding... More

Happy New Year to anybody who reads this. Not that I can think why you should. While there have been regular additions to the picture set, it's been months since I added text.
Life has got in the way, I confess. I hoped to get changes in place, not least some way of selling prints from the gallery. That will come, I promise, but I don't know exactly when.
Still, the holiday... More

Suddenly I have many more pictures to post, all because of four days in French Catalonia. They will probably appear in dribs and drabs over the next few days, and I'll work up to my favourites.
I'm also considering a new section on the site in which to write about travel experiences, because I'm definitely intending to do more of it. And this batch of photos has made me decide that... More

I find myself at a bit of a turning point. This website has served its purpose very well as a training ground, but I need to take a step forward.
The question is, should that be formal, or should I make use of what I already have ... ie this site?
I would like to get a business up and running, but I'm nervous. I don't expect much to come of the... More

It's been over a month since I added an entry here.
That time has been busy and stressful, as there have been some wrenching changes in my life that haven't allowed much spare time or mental space for photography - or other things. Still, I now have space of my own, and have arranged my possessions sufficiently that I can get back to the important things in life.
So I have developed... More

I grabbed myself another deal when I saw it, and splashed out on two new lenses. That's two more than I ought to spend money on, but I've been promising them to myself for a long time. And, coming from Hong Kong guaranteed duty and tax free, with a free three-year third-party warranty, I thought now was the time.
So I now have a Nikon 17-35 f2.8 zoom and a Nikon... More

It's been an eventful few days.
Firstly, and most minor, I have been on a ramble armed only with a digital compact and a rangefinder with mono film. There's nothing like limiting oneself to sharpen the eye, and besides, tramping country paths is more enjoyable without the lead weight of a serious camera. There are two pictures already in the gallery, so that's a successful day.
Secondly, I have handed my notice... More

At last, a genuine photographic development!
This picture is the result of me finally getting my act together and making an effort to capture the raw materials for a panorama while the weather was good. It gave me a chance to try out the application I got on recommendation for the purpose of stitching, called PTGui. I'm pleased to say that even without tweaking, or even reading the instructions, it worked... More

I've had a lot going on over the last few weeks. Mostly not worth talking about (although the First Aid course was worthwhile, and I'm now qualified for another three years), but enough that I haven't really had the energy or capacity to do much here even when I've had the time.
But I don't like to think of the site languishing. So today I have at least trawled through my... More

While getting technical, I thought I might as well sign up with the various blogging groups. So here goes with the first, which is apparently activated by including the following in a post:
