I am an amateur photographer based in New Zealand. I began using slide film in the early 80s, but the increasing costs of shooting in such a medium meant that I only dabbled in photography now and again. With the advent of DLSR full-frame cameras and a move to the UK, I finally took up photography again with a renewed interest. I share my love of photography with my wife, and together we have developed an interest in architectural and abstract photography. However, landscape photography remains a firm favourite of mine. My work has since been recognised in several national and international photographic competitions.
