Motor sport was a passion and living in Southern England most weekends were spent at Brands Hatch and at Silverstone. Was privileged to have known and lived in the same area as the late

1976 My first of many La Mans 24 hour race in France as a Photographer for Tate & Lyle sponsor of Alan de Cadenet in his De Cadenet Lola.

1988 Emigrated to Perth Western Australia

Living in Perth Western Australia on a Hobby Farm

Joined the local Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade set up a web page and scanned photos, and included Video from “inside the Fires” Photos were posted on the website within 1 hour of our return and the site was followed by firefighters throughout the world.

I acquired my first digital Camera ‘Kodak Point and Shoot 4 MP” at the start of a new revolution in digitail photography.

When digital DSLR’s came out I stuck with Pentax and a K7, but, as photography started to gain momentum I found I needed to upgrade to a professional DSLR (full frame) and invested in a NIKON D700 (Full Frame), then its sister Nikon D300 but still use the Pentax K7 .
