ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The particular character of this landscape dates from the Devonian geologic period of the Paleozoic, spanning 60 million years from the end of the Silurian, 419.2 million years ago, to the beginning of the Carboniferous, 358.9 million years ago, and named after the English county where rocks from this period were first studied. The periglacial features of the valley were formed when the area was at the limit of glaciation during the last Ice Age. The poet Robert Southey, visiting in 1799, described The Valley of Rocks as "covered with huge stones … the very bones and skeletons of the earth; rock reeling upon rock, stone piled upon stone, a huge terrific mass". The novel Lorna Doone, published by R. D. Blackmore in 1869, was partly set in the valley.

The writer G.K. Chesterton wrote, “True travellers let the experience of a destination come to them. The traveller sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see”. My creative approach is committed to engage with and show the world as I find it and to make images, with my own visual ideas and style, from whatever it is that I discover. I have always worked on location. Being in a studio doesn’t energise or excite me. I enjoy the quality of exploration and discovery you experience with location work, coupled with sometimes unpredictable and changing light and weather and, of course, also with the variety of people you might encounter. There’s an element of ‘flying by the seat of your pants’ that I find very addictive and, after five decades in photography, it still excites me when I find and make an image and all the unpredictability, light and weather is on my side. One of the consequences of where I was born and of my early childhood is that I have never felt that I have any real roots anywhere. As a photographer, being rootless has been a benefit to me. It has fuelled and sustained my wanderlust - travelling is when I feel most alive, most aware of the place I am in, most open to the possibility of the present. When I arrive in a new place (to me), I try to understand what the place is ‘giving’ me visually and as I start photographing an idea or approach takes shape. The type of photography that has always primarily interested me is documentary photography. If forced to put a label on myself, I describe myself as a documentary/fine art photographer. My limited edition prints have been acquired by a wide range of private Collectors. In the US - New York, California, Washington DC, Massachusetts, Illinois, Florida, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Connecticut, Tennessee; in Europe - the UK, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, France, Malta; and in other countries around the World - Canada, New Zealand, South Africa. Further details on my personal site. I currently live on the Greek island of Tinos in the Northern Cyclades. Over the last five years, I have completed two bodies of work on the island, ‘Alternative Facts’ and ‘Rock’, that I am currently submitting to publishers as photobooks and presenting as limited edition prints.
