Back story

I left school at 15, worked for a number of years in dead end
jobs. Managed to study art and photography at university and became interested in the creative documentary potential
of photography. Worked as lecturer for 20 yrs and also
within the media industries. Recently, I find myself spending more time photographing in public spaces though not
as a 'purist' street photographer (they are a breed apart).
I don't work well to particular brief's or projects and prefer
to rove and snap what interests me.

Digital

The development of digital cameras has driven a dramatic increase in amount of images taken.
However, for me it's still about where you point your camera.
The meaning, the message.

Exhibition spaces

Given popular interest in photography , dedicated gallery
spaces here in the UK still seem relatively limited.
Interest in quality photography will only be maintained
tthrough the support and promotion of qualtity exhibition
spaces. Not just 'pop-ups' but more permanent solutions.

Gear

Not really about the make of camera. Much more to do with where you point the lens. Message, composition, geometry
