As I approached retirement age, about 13 years ago, I decided once again, to take up photography seriously and with the approach of the digital age, with no need for a darkroom, this proved to be the catalyst that I needed. Initially I still used film and scanned the images and later took the plunge and bought a Canon 10D, followed by a 40D, a 5D and later a 5D MKII. Later for street photography I bought an Olympus OMD E10 and more recently a Lumix G9 which I find I deal for this purpose. Street Photography is now my prime interest. In addition I take candid portraits, architectural and documentary photography. I have recently started to use black and white film again for some of my projects
My current project is to document the changes in the local towns in the South Wales Valleys and in the larger cities and the way in which people interact with their environment.
I spend some time each year in Italy, which I find to be a rich source of inspiration for my style of photography.
In 2010 I was shortlisted in The Welsh Artist of The Year competition. In 2017 I was a finalist in the SIPA Awards.
