A Cornishman heading northwards......

I arrived on this planet on 19th March 1971 in St Mawes, Cornwall and since that date have been on the move due to my father's employment and latterly my own. Now residing in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, I have on my doorstep two of the most photogenic areas of the country - the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors.

My interest in photography can be credited to my late Grandfather, who was himself a keen amateur photographer, developing his own work at one stage. I acquired a 35mm Olympus Trip when I was 13 and then moved on to a Pentax Program A film SLR, which I was given as present from my father for passing my O levels. This was then replaced after a number of years of good use with a Canon EOS500, until I took the leap into the digital world last year buying the new Canon EOS 5D.

The digital world has certainly rekindled my interest in photography and my camera now goes wherever I go. My main interests being travel and landscape photography, influenced by the work of Joe Cornish and David Noton inparticular.

I normally work exclusively using Canon digital SLR's but have recently started to use an old Lomo Lubitel medium format film camera, which is proving fun to use!
