About Me

Career

Before I retired in 2016 I was a lecturer. Working in education enabled me to research and to publish, and to do what I enjoyed most, which was to travel and meet fellow academics from around the world. I attended conferences in Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Israel and China. 

Retirement gave me more opportunities to travel, and time to return to photography, which I’d been passionate about in the days of film, darkrooms and noxious chemicals.  Over 25 years had elapsed since I took part in amateur photography. I had a lot of catching up to do!

My photography initially concentrated on architecture – I love the drama that can be created using iconic architecture and black and white processing. More recently I have worked in a number of different genres – seasapes, churches, travel and people. You can see examples of them all in the galleries.

Exhibitions

I have held three exhibitions for charity this year. Recently I held an exhibition at Shambellie House in New Abbey.

I plan to hold more exhibitions, ideally once a year. I’ll post details in the blog when they are arranged.
