Profile
As a trained microbiologist, I have had the opportunity to live and work in three different countries (including my native UK), which has probably coloured my outlook on life, as well as given me the opportunity to experience different cultures and see new sights. In addition to that, I have visited a number of cities and towns to attend congresses. I also help to run a computer help site, where I have been exposed to some very good digital art (directly and indirectly). I was initially interested in photography as a teenager, coupling it with other hobbies. I sort of left it behind though when I started to focus more on my career. After several years in the creative doldrums (apart from on holiday), I decided it was about time that I started nurturing my creative side again and bought a Canon EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi) back in October 2007 and I have just upgraded to a 40D. One of my goals is to get back to Norway and Greece to capture some of the scenes I should have captured while living there.

Understanding
Pay no heed to those who think the worst. / Live your own life. / One day you will find true understanding,
What is Life?
So if life gets you down / Sit back, take a break / Then try to turn it ‘round
What Sort of World?
In this world we bring our kids / This world of constant heaving / Life is just a series of bids / What sort of world are we leaving?
Don’t you Love Me?
Would you be a friend or more? / I wasn’t quite sure what I saw. / What were your feelings for me? / How will I ever see?
Diving Otter
My mind went back to my first sighting of a wild otter, up in Scotland. It was a freezing cold March morning and we had specifically gone out looking for otters on the rising tide before breakfast.
Rememberance
Later that week we heard you’d died / Somehow it was still a shock / Prepare ourselves although we’d tried
