"My introduction to photography goes back to my mid-teens. I had always enjoyed art, so photography was another media to explore. Not only did I enjoy having a camera in my hand, I was fascinated with the concept of capturing moments in time. Few things pleased me more than to peer through the viewfinder of my Olympus OM-2 film camera. Back then I enjoyed photographing anything and everything that crossed my path and I even dabbled in a little black and white film developing and printing. For the past five years, I have narrowed my interest to Fine Art photography and my surroundings in North Wales really suit this genre. More recently I have turned my interest to street and architectural photography. I thoroughly enjoy capturing the angles, curves, the light and how it responds to the geometry and shape of the building, especially the most modern designs."
