I’ve always loved photography. I have been a keen photographer for many years and while never more than an amateur, I’ve always loved the way life looks through a lens; how a simple smile can say so much.
I’ve taken many photos over the years; these are some of my favourites, a mixture of snapshots and more creative photos.
The photos are split across several pages, so please use the links at the end of each page to navigate.

/ December 6, 2011Hi Amanda! Thanks, I’m so glad you liked them. I’m still learning too but I feel like my photography is gradually improving… just have to keep taking pictures, I guess.
The photography bug’s hard to shake once it’s got hold of you, isn’t it? I think having fun’s the main thing… if you just enjoy getting out there and shooting, then your photos will reflect it. The lens sees both ways.
Do you post much of your photography at all? I love reading your poetry but don’t think I’ve seen many of your photos on your site. Would love to have a look.

/ December 17, 2011Thanks. Some really lovely photos. I just followed you.
Have you tried SmugMug at all? It’s reasonably priced and a lot of photographers like it. I mostly use Flickr myself as all of my contacts are there. Google+ seems quite popular with photographers as well if you’ve tried that?
Have fun shooting!
