It seems like a lifetime ago now, but ever since my uncle randomly decided to buy me a small and cheap camera for Christmas one year I have found myself, like so many others before me, caught in an addictive downward spiral into photography madness and obsession.
I am mostly interested in seascapes, landscapes and the natural world but I also love break out my macro lens and get up close and personal with insects and other critters. Coming from a long line of hippies I have always loved nature and the environment but getting into photography has given me a whole new appreciation of the world around us. My macro lens in particular has reminded me that even within the confines of the urban jungle lies a tiny and often overlooked world, the world of insects. Every tree is an oasis of life, every flower is food for hundreds, every leaf is a battle ground and most of the time we are too busy to notice.
Here I would like to briefly discuss some of my thoughts and opinions about photography in general. I will try and do this in a way that does not make me sound like a massive tool but that might be too hard, so if I start sounding like a massive tosser just let me know :)
