Remnants of time
Born in the City of Derry, but I have lived most of my life outside the bounds of Ireland; in England, Singapore, Togo, Italy, Ethiopia and Brazil. I returned to Ireland (Donegal) in 2012.
My photography, together with travel, have become two of my life’s passions. My photography focuses predominantly on culture and landscapes; images which reflect a spatial and temporal journey through life and which try to convey a need to live in a more sustainable world. I seek the moment and the light in whatever context I find myself and endeavour to use my photographic acumen to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

entry description
These images are from a diversity of global locations. Ireland, Canada, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. They endeavour to convey a sense of space, atmosphere and the way in which light exacerbates tonal contrasts. They are taken in places which are largely devoid of human influence or where the elements of nature are still in control. The boundary between the marine and terrestrial, mountain lakes and arid environments are all represented. So too are a number of wrecks which have been left to blend with the impacts of erosion, weathering and time. These wrecks have, through time, become an integral component of the landscapes in which they are found and perhaps even add to the impact of the images taken.about the photographer
To capture people and landscapes and the interactions between them in the light of a world in transition is to encapsulate an inimitable moment, which will never again materialise.
