Since prehistoric times mankind has been obsessed with capturing their lives in images. From the earliest cave paintings they have striven to communicate all manners of emotion, triumph, wonder and achievement through the medium of pictures. Whether captured in mud daubings on cave walls, on silver halide coated strips of film or in digitally rendered pixels on a memory card. Man's obsession with images is as long lived as the species itself.
My obsession with the photographic medium began at an early age. Somebody gave me a broken Kodak. It wouldn't take pictures but still it went with me wherever I went. The click of its shutter fired my imagination and I used to imagine that I was reporting some critical story, documenting world-changing events or merely taking snapshots of family members. Somewhere along the line that camera became lost, and it wasn't until, at about the age of 12 that I received my first SLR, a Praktica MTL-3 as a Christmas present, that my interest was re-kindled.
I have been taking photographs on and off since that Christmas, with mixed results, but my enjoyment remains strong and it is here that I choose to present some random selections from the digital era of my photographic exploits.
