Profile
I’m a keen amateur photographer. I got into photography at the start of 2006 when I decided I needed a new creative output in my life. I tend towards fairly traditional subjects (landscapes, flowers, sunsets etc) but I try to put my own spin on things. I originally used a Nikon D70s but I have recently bought a Nikon D300 DSLR which is a fanstastic camera to use.
I spend my time between the NW of England (South Manchester) and Dublin where I am currently working.
