… photographs celebrating life
This is a non-commercial site so no one will be trying to sell you anything!! You are invited to browse, enjoy the photographs and share a little in the trips I have been lucky enough to go on. I see the world more vividly when I am taking photographs and since I retired I have been able to indulge in taking photos most days. But, whilst I am always ecstatic when I get a technically good photo, my interest really is in catching a moment or telling a story. This site is not so much ‘sets of photos’ to be admired as an exploration of what lies behind a particular set of photos.
Wildlife photography is the kind of photography I enjoy most. I love the unpredictability. The more I learn about the animals of course the better I get at anticipating the shot but my wildlife and nature photographs will always be a work in progress! However, I can get equally absorbed photographing scenery especially coastal scenery, or clouds, or the way the light falls through leaves, or the shapes of buildings!! It is all a source of wonder.
Over my lifetime I have been fortunate to go on a number of safari trips. When I come home and start to go through the photos I can remember vividly the experiences. I started to create ‘diaries’ on line – initially for friends and family to enjoy. Unfortunately ‘life’ got in the way and the good intentions faltered!! But I am back now and have lots to share…
