Originally from Dorset but now living near Cambridge in the UK, I’m discovering and developing a passion for good and unusual photography. Although very much a novice and self taught, I am keen to show and share what I can achieve and hopefully be inspired by others.

I currently use an Olympus E-3 and E-500 digital SLR or sometimes an Olympus mju410 compact.

Thanks for looking….oh…one more thing…criticism or praise accepted with equal appreciation.
