My father was a keen photographer and the hours he spent locked in his darkroom were resented by me, as was his insistence on me posing for hours perched on stone walls or five-barred gates. So for many years photography did not appeal to me. However, in my forties the gift of a camera got me hooked and photography has been my hobby ever since. Most of the last twenty years have been spent taking photographs for my own pleasure, being an enthusiastic club photographer and participating in national and international photographic exhibitions. Along the way I have gained the distinctions of Master of the International Federation of Photographic Art and Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. The RPS Digital Group, and my friends within it, have been a particular inspiration.
For several years nature photography was my speciality, but with the advent of digital cameras photographing people in their environment became a particular enthusiasm. Recently, with the arrival of grandchildren, a great interest in child portraiture has developed, and this then led to making pictures for children. Another project has been creating painterly images of garden and woodland flowers. I have visited Cuba many times - for a photographer, this magical island is heaven on earth. The little dog above provided one of my favourite Cuban images.
