Letting go

‘You look like a lizard’, snapped the picaresque denizen of Washington Square New York City, ’Eyes swivelling left and right like you’re hunting bugs’. 

I guess I have always been a photographer. Only for 40 years I didn’t know it.

In my late teens I was fascinated but marriage, family and the pressure of building my professional practice as a lawyer blew out the light and, with it, my self-belief. 

Then in 1998 the candle was reignited when I was taught how attention to light, form and detail was the way to make and not take pictures. 

I’m happy working in the landscape and on the street and now have started to explore using my camera as a paint brush employing the multiple exposure and ICM techniques.
