I learned from a young age to admire and take interest in my natural surroundings, as a young boy my father would take me walking with the family dog and we would point out things of interest along the way. Clouds which where shaped like animals, dead trees which looked like giant serpents or dragons, the breathtaking colours of a sunset on the way home, the vivid blues of Bluebells in the woods or the glisten of dew on a cobweb caught in the morning sunshine, or the infinite patterns in the ice of a frozen puddle. We live in a visual world made up of magical moments which can be captured forever through photography. The joy in the eyes of a newly wed bride, the love in a childs eyes, Horse Chestnut Trees at their most vibrant in autumn... Mother nature is still magical to me, and to this day at the age of 41 I still stop and gaze in awe at her splendour whenever I see a sunset or sunrise. Even more magical are the opportunities to share all these moments with my now eight year old son as we walk together, and of course with you through pictures...
