Profile
All my photos are taken with my Olympus E-410, purchased as it is light weight.
Drawing since, well like everyone, since we could hold a pencil, many of my early artworks can be seen inside the front cover of my parents books.
Oil Painting since age 11, but seemed to stop, when I had kids. Try to dabble when time permits, but Photography and Photoshop is much easier to find time and no cleaning up!
My father was an obsessive photographer and also a brilliant drawer, so I guess photography started from him, although I have worked with photographers for many years, all in studio work for catalogues, but I much prefer the great outdoors, for my art!
