While I have been photographing for more years than I would want to recount – OK, OK, more than 35 years – photography took on a brand new guise when I realized the advantages of digital images. My Bronica SQA and my Nikon SLR both now languish on the shelf while my Nikon D100 and D2X follow me around the world, usually in a large backpack, accompanied by a variety of lenses and filters. Yes, I am that person you see on the aircraft, struggling to fit his almost over-sized Lowepro into the overhead locker, while his lady friend looks on, with very little sympathy.

I travel, photograph and write, sometimes in that order. Over the last year or so I have visited Australia, California [well, it is a separate country], South Africa, Denmark, Scotland, England, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, The Netherlands, Belgium and France. In the coming months I will be visiting France [both Provence and Paris, hopefully when the riots are over], Belgium, Spain, Italy, Australia, England, Scotland, California, and possibly Singapore and Hong Kong. And as a result I will regale you with the woes of travel photography, and of the difficulties of finding stock and other outlets for travel-related images. I may even include details of a novel that I am currently writing.
