About me ...

A Brief CV

My father introduced me to photography, and the darkroom, when I was about seven years old, and I've been taking pictures ever since.

I've been actively involved in club photography since 1979, as a member of Field End Photographic Society in Ruislip, Middlesex. I gained an Associateship of the RPS with traditional monochrome prints, and have just completed an 8 year term on the Licentiateship panel of the RPS. (I now provide advice at their distinction workshops).

A busy national PAGB judge, and popular lecturer, I have visited more than 150 different camera clubs, and judged many regional, national and international exhibitions. (See the Judging & Lecturing page on this website).

I gained a Distinction of the PAGB with colour transparencies, and was pleased to receive an APAGB award for my services to photography.  I have also had success and gained awards in international exhibitions while earning my AFIAP distinction.

Now retired from working as an air traffic controller, I am a member of Amersham Photographic Society, and also assist with the running of the Southampton International Exhibition of Photography.

Since 2005 I have supported Paul Foley FRPS with Spirit & Vision Landscape Photographic Workshops, (see the web page on this site).
