About Me

Flickr account : contains lots more photos than I can be bothered posting on my blog. Have a looksee!

I like photography. I seem to have settled into a few types now:
Shoots
Gigs
People and places

I'm not really sure why I like photography. It's certainly rewarding when I get a picture I really like and it's changed the way I see the world. By that I mean I think it's helped me to really see things, not just look at them. If that makes any sense. Based on the way my photography has been heading in the past year or two, I'd have to say there's a certain social aspect of it that I like too - meeting new people, helping my friends learn, that sort of thing.

Well done if you're still reading, I do tend to waffle on a bit. Get me going on art or photography or the like and I'll be away.

I also enjoy being fit. I used to go swimming twice a week but that stopped when... well, I dunno. It kinda just did. Instead I now have taken a liking to hiking. I really would like to start going rock climbing again, if I could fine someone willing to go with me twice a week.

I got an electric guitar in 2007 some time, but since June 08 I've actually really started to practice on it, and learn about music properly and stuff. One day I might even be any good at it.

I sometimes update my blog quite often, usually with photo posts. I don't update my website all that often even though I probably should.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who like taking pictures or are otherwise arty. Or outdoorsy. Outdoorsy people are usually fun.

More or less

I noticed earlier that I’ve been saying "more or less" quite a bit lately. Wonder what that’s all about?
