I love wild places, and especially high mountains. I love the power, infinite variety and beauty of nature. My ambition is to be able to capture all of this in photographs, it is a lifetime quest. This quest is not made any easier by living in one of the flattest parts of the UK, but I like a challenge.

If you like my work you can buy my first photo book here, now in both large and compact formats to suit all wallets; http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/535941

I also have some calendars and smaller books here; http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1265763

Generally I want to record what I see, and any post processing is usually to overcome the shortcomings of the camera or the photographer. However, I do like to experiment every now and again, I just hope you can tell which is which!

Feel free to leave comments about my photos, constructive if possible please(!). Or if you are shy just click on the thumbs up/down icon in the top right corner of each shot to let me know what you think.

You can buy your favourite images, as prints, t-shirts, mugs and lots of other great gifts. If you live in the UK and are interested in special deals or commissions then use the contact details below.

Inspired by others in the Smugmug community, I decided to try and stretch myself out of my landscape comfort zone by starting a daily gallery, this will be a year old on Feb 1st 2009, please check it out.
