Seeing the world beyond my backyard stimulates and excites me, always has. Whether on our shores or beyond, I am drawn in and inspired to capture visions to share with others. Seeing antiquities, the charm of a medieval town, insights into long past history and the people who braved to settle and defend what they found is too good not to photograph and display. So many people don’t have the ability to leave our shores: my images can take them on a long dreamt-of safari, tour of the Vatican or to the jungles of South America. Or inspire them to have the courage to take the plunge and travel.
