About me:

I am a farmers son, and in 1966 started taking photographs.  I have not stopped since.  I have worked in Agriculture all my working life and been fortunate to have been outdoors a lot of the time.  After graduating in Agricultural Science in Leeds University, I followed a career in agricultural sales in the Highlands of Scotland. 

Hobbies:

I took up hillwalking at Leeds and have been involved in leading hillwalkers in all conditions all over the country since 1972.  Photography has been a hobby carried into the hills, the fields, the beaches, the forrests, underground and into homes.

Favorite quotes:

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"  --nameless,

 unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, First Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1933

When asked what is the most important commandment.....
"Love God with all your heart, soul and mind"
- Jesus Christ's reply -
