I CAN’T SAY PHOTOGRAPHY WAS SOMETHING THAT STRUCK ME FROM A YOUNG AGE. AS THOUGH IT WOULD SOUND GREAT IF I SAID I HELD MY FIRST CAMERA 4 DAYS AFTER MY BIRTH, IT NOW HAS EVOLVED TO A USEFULL BODYPART OF MINE..

MANY YEARS AGO AN OLD FRIEND INTRODUCED ME TO A CAMERA HE HAD BOUGHT IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS. IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED ANCIENT IN COMPARISON TO THE EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE TO DATE.  HE HAD NO USE FOR IT ANYMORE , ‘THIS OLD FILM SLR’ HE CALLED IT. “100 BUCKS AND IT’S YOURS?, HE SAID.  WITHOUT A HESITATION I SNAPPED UP THE BARGAIN.

EVENTHOUGH THIS OLD THING WAS….WELL OLD, I WAS INSTANTLY IMPRESSED BY THE SPEED OF THE SHUTTER, WHEN I PUT MY FINGER DOWN, TCK ..TCK …TCK 3 SHOTS BAM’ AND THE ZOOM, IT GAVE ME AN INCREDIBLE SENSE OF POWER TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT TOOL.

AFTER A FEW DAYS DOWN AT MY NEAREST POINT ,SHOOTING LOCALS ON THE 4 FOOTERS ROLLING IN, I WAS HOOKED!!

I SPENT THE NEXT YEAR ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED BY PHOTOGRAPHY.  APART FROM TAKING PICTURES OF EVERY THING IN MY GRASP I READ EVERY BOOK AND MAGAZINE I COULD GET MY HANDS ON. 

AS TIME GOES ON I HAVE, AS EVERYONE DOES EXPANDED MY EQUIPMENT, ANY PHOTGRAPHER WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED,I HAVE  ALSO LOST THE ANNOYING EDGE OF OBSESSION. PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOW SOMETHING I THOUROUGHY ENJOY. TO ME IT’S ABOUT MENTALLY PREPARING MYSELF, PATIENTLY AWAITING THE PERFECT TIME AND CONDITIONS  FOR “THE ONE SHOT?..

THIS WEBSITE IS TO EXPAND MY AUDIENCE AND SHOW WHO I AM.  I UNDERSTAND I’M LIKE A PIECE OF SAND IN THE BIG SCHEME OF THINGS… BUT NOW IM A PIECE OF SAND WITH A WEBSITE AND IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR THEN I SPOSE IT CAN’T BE ALL THAT BAD…
