Photography
I have enjoyed taking photographs ever since the day I borrowed my Dad’s clunky Zenit E SLR. I photograph when out walking and on holidays and occasionally look for more abstract compositions. I think when you hold a camera in your hands you begin to view the world of shape and colour in a different way. I hope you enjoy these few photos I’ve chosen for the website.
