The appeal of photography has been with me since my teens (so long ago now!) when I bought for first camera, a Praktica LTL3. I progressed through various Minolta cameras both film and digital.

My interest is mainly abstracts/patterns/minimalism but I try to look for things that appeal to me personally. I look upwards as well as down as there's always so much see that is not at eye level. Otherwise, you see only what other people see.

I am a member of a local club (Sodbury & Yate Photographic Club - www.sypc.org.uk) as well as UPP (United Photographic Postfolios - www.uppofgb.com). I enjoy entering competitions to see what judges make of my work. The images that I submit are ones that I enjoy taking but are not often of a style that wins competitions. I'm always looking for something different.
