ABOUT...

I am an IT professional living in London UK. I love all arts, but photography has a special place in my heart. A long while ago I was part of this amazing new online community, deviantArt, which is still thriving. My profile on this platform is still available for viewing, although I no longer actively contribute, and is the best place for showcasing my work.

Street Photography

This is my favourite kind of photography. I love the natural feel to a frozen moment in time, especially in a busy city such as London.

Stills

Similar to portraits, this stype of photography also requires a lot of patience and preparation, which I don't think I have!

Portraits

I do love portrait photography but it is not something I am good at. I just don't think I have the patience required to prepare and setup for this style.

Occasions

Another favourite of mine. Just snapping away during family gatherings, weddings, or any other occasion, I find capturing people enjoying themselves and interactiong with each other very intriguing.

here I am standing in the courtyard of my dreams, in a world so big like a child so small, I can't hear my own screams does anyone care at all? I will break away before it's too late, in the name of freedom I will crash and burn, my destiny, my own fate a journey, no return...

A WORD ON LIFE

From small things, big things one day come...

I wrote this little poem to go with this picture I took back in 2004. The little chap in the photo is my elder son, who was 3 years old at the time.

I think it is interesting that as I watch my children grow into adults, these words become more and more meaningful to me.

We live our lives looking for a purpose, often not knowing if we will ever find it. I believe that purpose is already with us. It is just to live and to live well. Respect life and all within it, and the rest will sort itself out.
