Welcome to my Web site!
A passionate
traveller and
photographer who, being able to do both in abundance, lives an idyllic life.
Serious photography started for
me some 25 years ago as a result of a family holiday to the southwest
States of the USA. With a relatively simple camera trying to capture the
great National parks and “Cowboy” towns such as Dodge City, Tombstone, Bisbee and the likes
made me want more of the same but much better.
I became a “Fellow of The Royal
Photographic Society” as a result of a panel of images taken inside the now
well known “Slot Canyons”. As well as having lectured to American
photographers in America on photographing Wranglers and Cowboys Linda, my
wife, and I have visited the States almost annually, some times for a few
weeks, other times like 2010 for 5 months
America is for many photographers
a dream, so much variation in subject matter, from deserts to rain forests,
its culture and people, but for me its Cowboys, their life style and their
rodeos, as well as a climate which is predictable.
To enable me to travel as I do, I
have a campervan both here in the UK as well as one in America. Over the
past 5 years I have driven through Russia, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan,
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan as well as all the states in America. Some
serious driving and some special photos.
THIS WEB SITE is an attempt to
show the viewer a picture story of travel through these countries, the
famous places and the back streets. People with whom I’ve spent time, had
fun and shared jokes and food with. The gunslingers from USA, the religious
from Iran, the law from Turkey.
So far I’ve had a great
adventure, with more to come which, I hope can be seen by the images on this
site.
