Trained properly at Central School of Art, London, in the 1970s, and never quite recovered.
Forty-odd years of design done on other people’s terms, and photography tailored to no one but myself — industry and museums on one side, landscapes and iPhone histamatics on the other. One paid the mortgage. The other didn’t need to.

Photography
35mm plates & HistamaticsSelf-indulgent miscellany, mostly. Coffee grinders, chillies and garlic lit with more care than they’ll ever get again; Provençal shopfronts left to flake with no such fussing at all; and phone snapshots posted without much shame either way.
