As I get older I find I ‘see’ things very differently from how I used to and my ideas on what makes an interesting image have changed considerably. To be honest, I no longer want to produce ‘straight’ photographs and I’ve become much more interested in graphic images. Hence the work on display here.

Since making the change from film to memory cards and discovering the digital darkroom that is Photoshop, I find my imagination taking me down some very unexpected avenues. It felt a little strange at first, but I decided to go with it and I’m very glad I did. I’ve made some amazing discoveries about myself!

My camera equipment is very modest (a Sony SLR body, two lenses and a bag to keep ‘em in) and my greatest pleasure is to create images from photographing the things that most folk pass by without a second glance.

The Howling Dog name just sort of happened a few years ago when I wrote and self published a couple of volumes of comic verse and Lancashire monologues. I thought it was time to give the ‘brand’ another outing, so Howling Dog Design has made its debut. I hope you approve!

Constructive criticism on all my images and designs is positively encouraged and is always welcomed.

Thank you for taking the time to view my work.
