I live in rural Canterbury, New Zealand, not far from the Southern Alps. I moved here 16 years ago after spending all my adult life in cities, mostly in Christchurch. Until a year or so ago much of my time was spent in my garden, but I'm finding it difficult to keep up now.

My interest in photography dates back to when I was a child. As a teenager I worked in a photo processing lab in an age when it was all done by hand, eye and intuition. No expert with a sophisticated camera I prefer to do the best I can with a point and shoot, though it's never set to auto.

I don't pick the flowers

Wild life is photographed in its natural setting, where I find them.

My landscapes are almost always taken from the road because trespassers are not welcome here.
