I've always found creativity fulfilling and have enjoyed photography for many, many years, shooting first with film SLRs and then progressing on to digital SLRs once the technology started to improve. Having been working in IT throughout my career, and therefore being confident with PC-based tools, it allowed me to realise the potential that digital photography offered. That's when things started to get more serious.
Producing fine art allows me the creative freedom to use techniques that result in an image that reveal an alternative reality, uncovering hidden aspects of the subject. For example, long exposure photography is a technique that allows the capturing of the magic and beauty of a scene that the human eye would never otherwise see, yet it is still reality.

entry description
This was taken just before Christmas during an afternoon out shooting in Felixstowe, England. Having spent some time shooting a groyne near these defences, by the time I got set up to shoot these sea defences, the light was going and a light rain came in but it made for some interesting soft atmospherics.about the photographer
