I became interested in photography in 1999 as a tool to provide source material to manipulate on the computer, but have now moved to the opposite extreme in trying to capture the image almost completely in camera, that said, there is still post processing and the occasional ‘adjustment’ to be made. I refer to myself as a competition photographer because I find showing my images in this way becomes a driver to get out and look for something new each year, and it’s no longer about winning but more the simple pleasure of creating an image that I’m proud to share.
