I was born and raised in England. I have been interested in photography ever since my Uncle Monty lent me his Zeiss Ikon camera, a medium format manual camera from the 1950's. He had no children, so it gave him great pleasure to share his love of photography with me.

For some of the years I worked for Shell in London I was in charge of the photo library, in Media Services Division. I worked with exhibition designers, book publishers, educators, and anyone else who needed photographs of Shell's activities worldwide.

After I married and was raising a family in Houston and Dallas, Texas, I took photos for use in the yearbooks for the schools my three sons attended. Now that my sons have left home I still work with the Advanced Art students at Fairhill School in Dallas, and help with yearbook photos. I consider that working with the students to inspire a love of photography in them is a part of my uncle's legacy to me.

I have attended workshops led by Steve McCurry, Steve Northup, and David Noton from England. Last year I was on a National Geographic round the world trip with Bob Krist. All the professionals have helped me take my photographic skills to the next level and I am very grateful to them for all their advice and guidance.

My work has been published in "Outdoor Photographer", "Cornwall Today", and "Falls City Journal". I have also provided portraits for several people's websites and exhibition brochures. This Fall I will be giving a photographic seminar at Midway College, Kentucky.

I published a book last year entitled, "For Love of Cadgwith", the proceeds of which go to a local charity in Cadgwith, Cornwall, England, where we now own a vacation home. Prints of some of the photographs in that book have been sold for charity, used for postcards, and bought by individuals.

Now you know why Cornwall and Texas feature on my website!

Thanks for looking. If you would like to contact me please send me an email. I do my best to check this e-mail address at least twice a week.
