MANY OF MY MOST VIEWED IMAGES CAN BE FOUND ON THE LAST 2 PAGES OF MY PORTFOLIO
I have created a Writing A Tour of Two Valleys
which is a photographic travelogue to my part of the
South Downs National Park
It is a work in progress, I am expanding the text when time allows.

Saturday 1st August I teamed up with 4 other photographers (working as Pulse Photography)
to cover the BRIGHTON PRIDE Event. We each took a different section of the route to enable us to capture the whole event.
The plan is to produce a book of the event which will be available to preview & buy online
Other work by myself & the pulse photography team can be viewed at PULSE PHOTOGRAPHY—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—
I am collaborating with a fellow artist (Lorusmaver)
I photograph images and he paints his interptretation
of the same image.
Please check out his work also (LORUSMAVER)
I have 3 cameras
I have just bought the Panasonic G1 with 2 lenses 18-45 & 45-200. This will be used for my more serious exploits
The Panasonic FZ28 will still be well used.
If I don’t want to carry a lot of gear, this will still be my camera of choice
Canon powershot s50 which lives in the glove compartment of my car… Just in case.
Below I have added links to my bubblesite folders
