Just me and my camera
What is the difference between a photographer and someone who takes photographs? Is there a difference?
Am I “a photographer”? Photography is a hobby that I stumbled onto quite by accident when I "borrowed" a film SLR on a holiday several years ago. I quickly treated myself to a digital camera, simply because I was spending a fortune on film. I don't believe that digital is better by any means, though. It's just more convenient for me.
I am completely self-taught – mostly through my own mistakes! – and have tried to develop my own style, both adhering to and ignoring the rules of photography.
I certainly get a thrill from being able to capture that unique moment that would otherwise be just a memory, and believe that photos should be seen and enjoyed, not hidden away in a cupboard or on a computer disk.
Does all that make me a photographer? I don’t know. I’m just me, and I love taking photos.
If you are interested in purchasing any of the photos on this site please contact me for prices and other options. A percentage of all sales will be donated to the charity Mind.
Thank you for looking!
