WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE which contains photographs and tear-sheet copies from my library. I have written two books entitled: Photo Libraries & Agencies.

My writing and photography has been published worldwide in books, calendars, greetings cards and national newspapers, trade and consumer publications. Features have included business and trade profiles, photography, travel and crafts.

In 2011 I retired from full-time freelancing. However it is difficult to quell the urge to be creative. So, health permitting, I shall continue to undertake a few personal projects and continue the mastery of new digital techniques. I enjoy helping others and welcome questions and comments through my website.

Two photo libraries continue to market my pictures: Alamy and Collections. You can purchase several of the pictures shown here from Alamy Just click on the preceding HTML link and enter relevant keywords.
