I was a keen amatuer photographer for many years, like many people cutting my teeth on an old Zenith E that I bought second hand in 1981 but made the progression firstly from slide film to digital and then from amateur to semi-pro. I live and work in the Peak District in UK, where I exhibit and sell my images through local outlets as well as running Landscape photography courses. I love travelling, however, and my camera always comes with me. I\'m very happy that my portfolio contains a lot of high quaity material taken in other countries. My aim in my teaching is to pass my enthusiasm for the art on to the people that I work with.
