TO KEEP TRACK OF MY PORTFOLIO , I HAVE MOVED MY “MOST VIEWED ITEMS” TO THE LAST 2 PAGES SO THAT THEY CAN EASILY BE FOUND
A description of what life on earth is, from the Diamond Sutra:
A falling star, a bubble in a stream
A flame in the wind. Frost in the sun
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud
A phantom in a dream—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—--
I have always been interested in photography, but have only started exhibiting my work in the last year.
I am particularly interested in Landscape photography.
I mainly focus on the area of the south downs where I live ( an underated part of the country).
Elsewhere my favourite area has to be the Lake district
I also photograph sailing events, My youngest son William has competed at many events during the last 3 years.
Since June I have teamed up with 4 other photographers to do event photography such as the Brighton Carnival & Brighton Pride.
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
Canon 300D DSLR which is used occasionally
Panasonic FZ50 which is so light & versatile, this is my preferred camera , it lives with me.
Canon powershot s50 which lives in the glove compartment of my car… Just in case
