  A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into. ~Ansel Adams I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it. ~Author Unknown I think the best pictures are often on the edges of any situation, I don’t find photographing the situation nearly as interesting as photographing the edges. ~William Albert Allard, “The Photographic Essay” I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything. ~John Steinbeck Actually, I’m not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I’m not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren’t cooks. ~Henri Cartier-Bresson A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety. ~Ansel Adams I just think it’s important to be direct and honest with people about why you’re photographing them and what you’re doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul. ~Mary Ellen Mark Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. ~Edward Steichen / Edward Steichen – The Flatiron (1905)

  No, this isn’t a history lesson, it is a small piece of my life and how I came to where I am at the present. I was born in Liverpool, England which makes me a ‘scouser’. I grew up mostly in Lancashire with diversions to Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Gibraltar. I am a total Lancastrian at heart. When I was 17, I joined the British Army but I had a passion for photography even then. While in the army I became a part time assistant to Royal and social photographer Tom Hustler. Tom was an extremely competent photographer who had never passed a photographic course in his life. I met my partner during that time and eventually moved over to Australia. / I base a lot of my work on the style of Henri Cartier-Bresson as I am always looking for that moment in time, but I am also looking for the reality of life. / I sometimes work with a good friend Matt Setright who is on this site, who I am mentoring.
