When I studied photography it was as much about the chemicals as the composition. Those chemicals have gone, replaced by digital processing and digital storage. No more the limitations of 24 or 36 shots and no chance to know if you got it right.

Of course, quantity never did equate to quality.

I try and capture something beyond what I see, it’s all there if you look hard enough. What I’m interested in is shape and texture, story and metaphor.

Photography supports my writing and fuels other creative endeavours; I try and extend the images I take, re-imagining them in prints using digital, ink and mixed media.
