I'm a very enthusiastic amateur photographer with a lot to learn. I take photographs as a form of relaxation and derive a huge amount of enjoyment from this passion of mine. I create images for myself, and if others enjoy them as well that is a massive boost to me. I love looking at things and seeing the potential in sometimes overlooked subjects. I love colour, shape and form. I try to see things in a slightly different way and put my own slant on them; I strive to be creative and original.

I began taking photos in January 2005 when I purchased a Fuji S3500. From there I moved to a Fuji S7000 in May that year, then a Nikon D50 in December 2005. I now also use a Samsung GX10 that I received in May this year. I am hoping to keep improving my photography through inspiration and critique from others.
