"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still" - Dorothea Lange
For me it all began as a child with my first plastic film camera bought as a Christmas gift back in the late 80's, I remember the flimsy little pop up 'view finder' and how much fun it was taking snapshots of family and neighbours, waiting excitingly waiting for the prints to come back from the lab...
The world of digital has changed the face of photography forever and in my opinion for the better and I would use one word to sum it up "FREEDOM"
After returning from 7 months of travelling in 2007 with a Pentax Optio 50 'point and shoot' camera in tow I knew that photography was going to be a massive part of my life and the next step was going to be a DSLR. I'm currently shooting with Canon 400d with a selection of lenses covering from 10mm to 300mm.
My photography allows me to explore whole new visions and outlooks on the objects in question.
For me it's about finding different interpretations of everyday visions...
This is where it begins.
