I have lived in Liberia, Scotland, USA, England, Malawi, Uganda, Holland, Ireland, Kuwait and Dubai, and fell in love with photography buying a Zenit 122 with a MC TAIR-3S 300 mm lens when I was 17. I stopped taking photographs 10 years later frustrated at my lack of "national geographic" pictures. I picked a camera up again in 2003 and have rediscovered the pleasure of taking photographs, not for the results, purely for the pleasure of making me look and be aware of my surroundings again.
