While music is my main passion and lifeblood, photography has been a fascination for me since receiving my first camera as a boy, a Kodak Brownie Starmite. I took up photography seriously in the 1970s using a Pentax SP-1000 SLR and carried it everywhere, on the ready for any opportunity. It was a time when cameras were a rarity and something special. I moved between black and white and colour but favoured the versatility and creative flexibility of monochrome images, following in the footsteps of my heroes of the time Henri Cartier-Bresson, Tony Ray Jones and Max Dupain. In the early 2000s I embraced digital photography and have carried on in a more photography saturated world.
