“I have been working with Photoshop for a few years now. My favorite styles are gothic/horror/macabre scenes, starting with complete photos or just selected parts of them and creating completely different and surreal pictures”.

"Photography, to me is a personal journey, and while it delivers both highs and lows, it is never dull. If the image is not seen then it does not exist, so the obligation, then, is to exhibit work and if just one other person derives some pleasure from seeing it, then the journey has been worthwhile".

A dry storm 1992

“A dry storm was taken in 1992 just outside our front gate at "Mentone" so it was almost like a private storm. It is Agfa film 100asa. I have been passionate with taking photos for many years and still love taking photos. My favourite subjects would be scenery, clouds and people”.
