I started a life long interest in photography at about 10 years old by making my own pin-hole camera from details in a boy's project book!

I entered my first photographic competition in 1965 and had work accepted for exhibition at both Winchester and Oxford Photographic Societies in 1966. Since then I have frequently had work accepted for exhibitions and placed in competitions.

Since my first home made camera, I have used a variety of rangefinder and reflex 35mm and medium format film camera's, moving to digital image capture in 2002. I currently use a full frame digital single lens reflex camera with Carl Zeiss and Leica lenses.

I am a member of:

The Royal Photographic Society
The Leica Fellowship
Southampton Camera Club
and a Past President of: Winchester Photographic Society
