Sometimes I am fascinated by the beauty in natural things, so I will stop to capture a flower at one small moment in its life. At another time I might chance upon a wall in shade, or a fragment of society's detritus, or an elegant architectural form. In each instance I strive to capture something essential about the formal properties of what I see, and fix this in the image. I love spontaneity and rarely stage anything for the lens.

On other occasions I might be working within a particular aesthetic or philosophical programme. One such project is Telemetry.

A random selection of my photographs from Flickr:

Please contact me about buying my photographs as limited edition prints. Some are not available for personal or rights reasons, but most are.

I am proud to say that a selection of my photographs have been included in the Pentax Photo Gallery.

A few of my photos have been used in the Schmap tourist guides online. I have had a photo placed in national paper the Irish Examiner and international magazine The Wire.

Besides all of this I am the keeper of obscure information on Pentax-compatible Vivitar 28mm manual focus lenses. Check out the Vivitar Bestiary. I also host the master page for the Pentax Forums' Traveling Nifty Fifty project.
