I have been taking photographs since the mid 1970's. I joined the now defunct Telford Photographic Society and not long after the Royal Photographic Society. In 1984 I became a "double" Associate of the Royal with two different sets of colour slides. Not long after in 1988, I gained a Fellowship of the Royal with a series of mono infra red images.

In 1989 I joined Wrekin Arts Photo Club and soon started entering exhibitions at National and International level. In 1994 I started producing slides from digital images. I worked my way through the FIAP (Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique) exhibition table, culminating in 2009 with the EFIAP/Platinum award. However the proudest moment in my photographic career was in 2003 when I became

Although I love innovation in photography, my greatest love is for the landscape. A chronic back condition gave rise to early retirement in 2001 and since then I have developed a serious eye condition (Retinitis Pigmentosa) which will eventually lead to blindness. However, I will not let my disabilities hinder my quality of life or my love of photography. Although the high mountains may be out of reach, there are always the valleys. For my wife Sue and I there is nothing better than being outdoors and I will continue to enjoy (and photograph) it as long as I possibly can. Life becomes a series of compromises and adaptations as we get older, but nothing can take away our enjoyment of the landscape.

I have had my work published in books and magazines and have given talks at some of the largest Camera Clubs in the UK. In 2009 I came first in the "Visions Of Britain" competition, organised by Beautiful Britain magazine. In the summer of 2009, I was invited to be the "Guest Artist" at the Church Stretton And South Shropshire Arts Festival.
