Photo Gallery

My joy for photography had started later in life, developing long after my love of writing and art. I didn't have a camera of my own until I was over eighteen, given a mini Polaroid camera as a present the photos I took were a shameful blur of cheap holidays and pets, but I enjoyed taking them and soon became addicted to it, with a passion.

I'd love to go back to using film; those snapshots that captured the bygone days of my childhood, the simplicity of family photos taken on 35mm; I often feel that film gives a photo a unique quality that digital somehow lacks. But I digress, I own nothing but digital so digital it shall be.

Below is my photographic collection, taken with various equipment; my beloved Nikon D5000, my battered old Kodak Easyshare, my Canon Powershot, my Sony Cybershot and my iPhones 4 and 6. They all form a visual diary of sorts and therefore I have ordered them by the date that they were taken, most recent ones at the top.

23.07.13 - Down by the Sea; The seashore has always been one of my favourite places to be, and this week I spent some time in Brighton; here are a couple of seagulls I managed to photograph wandering along the edge of the beach

23.07.13 - The Shard; At 308 metres high this London skyscraper is hard to miss
