I am a retired web designer and keen amateur photographer. My main interest is travel photography, however, as I progress in my photography I find that I am enjoying monochrome more and more.

I won ‘Photographer of the Year’ in my local camera club in 2007/2008 and again in 2008/2009. The death of my son in June 2009 eroded my passion for photography, but I am slowly rekindling my interest. As a NIPA (Northern Ireland Photographic Association) judge, I have found that judging is helping me get back my interest in Photography.

My Gear:
Nikon D300; Nikon 18-200 VR, Sigma 10-20,
Nikon D700; Nikon 50 f/1.4G, Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VRII,
Nikon 24-70 f/2.8,
Sony NEX-5, 16 f/2.8, Nikon Adapter 50 F/1.8
Capture NX2.

My son is dead / how can that be? / He made a stupid but fatal mistake / and I was not there to help. / He didn’t want to embarrass me, or his mum / he didn’t want to hurt us. / But he did.
