USA - 2007 portfolio I flew to the States in September 2007 with the specific intention of photographing parts of the Arizona stretch of the old Route 66. This, together with side trips to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, the Petrified Forest and Meteor Crator, yielded the photographs in this portfolio, most of which are yet to be titled.

I'll be back...........

Spain portfolio I am fortunate in that I have a good friend with a house around 20 miles inland from Almeria just outside the village of Tabernas. The area is home to the only geological desert in Europe and became famous in the 1960s when a whole raft of 'Spagetti Westerns' were filmed in the surrounding badlands. Some of the filmsets have been preserved and are now tourist attractions. They offer endless photo opportunities. This is also the land of the Peublo Blanco, the white villages of Andalucia, which have yielded many images for me over the years including many in monochrome that were included in the panel of prints with which I achieved the Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 2001.

Monochrome - A retrospective portfolio My first love is, and always has been, black and white photography. However, with the rapid advancement of digital imaging, I find traditional silver-based work less appealing. Digital production is so much easier and more versatile, a fact which is, of course, only apparent if one's been bought up with traditional silver work as I have.

As I no longer have my darkroom set up, this gallery has become very much a retrospective collection of some of my favourite images, all of which are a minimum of 6 years old.

The few digital monochrome images I now produce can be found in the other galleries. I plan to do much more monochrome in the future.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE IMAGES IN THIS PORTFOLIO ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT THIS TIME.

The British Museum portfolio A friend and fellow member of the Royal Photographic Society works at The British Museum so I can combine a chat over a cup of coffee or a spot of lunch with a few hours snapping.

The Museum offers amazing photographic potential, both outside and in. The Great Court alone has yielded many images for me. In the last couple of years the museum has been 'discovered' by increasing numbers of photographers and it is becoming more and more difficult to produce anything original.

A Miscellany! portfolio This is a collection of odds and sods, mainly taken in the UK. They don't seem to fit into pre-defined slots, so this seemed like a good place for them!

France & Belgium portfolio Living so very close to the port of Dover and also the Channel Tunnel means that a trip to mainland Europe is as easy as it can be. Over the years, I've spent many highly productive days in both France and Belgium. This portfolio contains some of the many images in my files.

Istanbul - 2009 portfolio In early 2009, I found I had enough Airmiles to take a short break, including flight and accomodation, to European city of my choice. I wanted to go somewhere that was completely new to me so chose Istanbul. I was there for 3 days, but the weather was such that I lost one complete day of photography.

The best of my efforts are showcased in this gallery.
