About

Twenty-something Englishman with a couple of cameras and an eye for the unusual. Originally from Blackburn, I lived in Leeds from mid 2002 to August 2006 and can still be found in The Grove drinking real ale quite a bit! Every third Saturday of the month you're likely to spot me at the Wendyhouse, Leeds biggest alternative/goth club****.
I now live in Elland with my fiance & the most beautiful one year old in the world, see for yourself!

I like to eat Pizza (or anything Italian), curry, Mexican and of course English.

If you ever see me out in the street (or anywhere else for that matter), the likelyhood is I'll be carrying a camera, so flickr suits me down to the ground.

Other than a non-professional photographer I'm also a real ale connoisseur, an information freak (if I'm not reading the Guardian I'll be watching BBC News 24 or on one of their websites), a music whore (heavy metal right through to Jazz with rock, punk, blues, r'n'b, rap and lots more in between)*, a rather good cook. I'm also a numbers buff (I've worked for the worlds second biggest bank for over 5 years, currently as a debt counsellor**) and have a HND in Computing***.


*Here's what I've been listenting to recently
**more interesting than it sounds
***not interesting at all
****i'm not a goth

I'm currently shooting with a Canon EOS 350D (Rebel XT), with the 18-55mm USM kit lens, the popular Canon 75-300mm III USM lens and the 50mm f/1.8. I also use a Sony Cybershot T100 and, if I'm stuck without my cameras, a Sony W850i 2MP cameraphone & an S700I 1MP cameraphone. On flickr you'll also find photos I've taken on a Sony Cybershot P120 and a compact Kodak APS, A Motorola V600 cameraphone, a Siemens S55I cameraphone & a 35mm compact that I was given free when I openend a bank account, aged 14! Thats when I started shooting. I was going to study photography when I left school, but the local college had a complecated timetable where all the subjects I liked overlapped! I ended up concentrating on IT instead, but since the dawn of flickr, and especially over the last 18 months (since Jan 2005), I've started to take photography seriously again - hence I've just bought my first DSLR. I've also recently aquired a Canon EOS1000 and have a wooden pinhole camera, both of which have yet to be tested.
