I first held an SLR camera more than 20 years ago. Unfortunately that camera, as well as the possibility of pursuing my interest in photography, disappeared within a year. I didn’t manage to get behind a camera again until about 6 months ago.
Since then I’ve been re-discovering the world.
I’ve discovered art in the real that can only be seen through the lens of a camera..
There’s art and expression to be found in the amazing world of the macro…
And the many wonderful artists of RB have helped inspire me to the limitless expression of the artistic, the emotional and the fantastic through the techniques of digital manipulation and composition that I am only just beginning to discover…
There are so so many things that I feel driven to express…
“If you look for truth you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get comfort or truth, only soft soap, wishful thinking, and in the end despair.”
C. S. Lewis.
“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.”
Leonardo da Vinci.
