I live in North Birmingham, West Midlands. Married with one 16 year old son. Working full-time I do not get as much time as I would like, to visit and photograph all that's on my wish list. Usually have to wait for holidays or book the occasional day off work.............. life's hard! My favourite photography is birds and wildlife - very time consuming subjects! Since picking up my first digital camera (EOS 10D) I feel I have improved over the years due to reading lots of magazines and books but most of all, web forums and speaking to people I meet on workshops and places I visit - who are always willing to offer advice - to these people and future people Ive yet to meet, I say thank you.
