About

I first retired as a consultant eye surgeon in December 2019 but went back to work in November 2021 to help with the cataract backlog after Covid. I finally hung up my operating microscope in July 2022and hope to spend more time with (and photographing!) the grandchildren as well as my favourite being in the landscape.

I have carried a camera since I was around 8 years old (a Kodak Brownie 127) starting with analogue film and now using digital systems as well. Although it is common for photographers to say it is the photographer that counts, not the equipment, I have a keen interest in both the technology and the art of photography - the whole process. I still enjoy developing and printing film pictures but also love the immediacy and more rapid learning available from digital imaging. I connect to the world through the viewfinder in a way I find difficult to describe - maybe explaining my joy in the experience of using an operating microscope in my medical work.

I enjoy most genres of photography and hope you enjoy looking at these pictures as much as I enjoyed making them.

Since 2004 I have worked with the NGO Orbis (the Flying Eye Hospital) which has taken me to many parts of the developing world. I continue to work with them and from any sales I make from prints on this site I will contribute 50% to Orbis. Click the link above to take a virtual tour of this incredible aeroplane.
