I don’t know whether it was a fascination with life that got me into photography or something else. From a young age I loved to observe and draw. Though when there was a camera in my hand something else happened. The camera gave me an excuse to explore the world and capture moments, it gave me a sense of connection. There was a beauty in that for me.
I travelled and travelled for seven years, but then I had one of ‘those years’ where things got a little too exciting: ships sinking, volcanoes erupting, a little too close to bombing- you know how it is. I realised it was time to come home and put work out into the world. I have recently won a series of awards including a couple travel photography. For me it isn’t about acclaim- instead it is that fact I love being able to create beautiful images of our astounding planet. I certainly hope you like what you see. Most of my pictures have a story, I try to add that to the write up. I intend for my images to be more than just an image- maybe a connection or a feeling. Whatever it is I hope it makes you feel good.
Please enjoy.

Jenny cleverly wore a skin coloured halter neck which resulted in everyone (the men) doing a double take at her.
Remote control planes and fringe eating puppies!
Anyway moral of the story: do not allow your brother to fly radio contolled planes at your head. If it is really necessary invest in an indestructable plane proof helmet!
Horse events and angular tent pitching for girls.... Quantock.
After the hog roast and my vegetarian version:quiche. Yes I know that a quiche rotating on a stick over a fire does not conjure the same romantic imagery. That is why I said Hog roast…
a strange life: roller skates, a rugby team and a worm-infested dog impression.
I learned very early on that when you are escorted across the road by an eighty year old with a limp because he fears for you, you know your skating style is probably a little naff.
Apparently it was the Goblin....
A funny story that happened to my friend.
GOYLEGATE
Davina hated being chased, so why was she even in that situation? She glanced behind her. The men dressed in black were catching up. Davina gritted her teeth, put her head down and ran her fastest.
