I do like to do a lot of photography, though it's probably the thing in which I'm least skilled or trained. Nevertheless, as Ansel Adams is quoted, sometimes I manage to arrive at the right time. I like to have my camera around, and if I spot a good shot, I take it without hesitation. The banner on this page, for example, is one that, as I was passing down a road, I snapped.

Mostly I like to take pictures of nature, and very rarely of people. Green things and water fascinate me most, but also the extremes - very tiny things photographed up close, or very large things photographed from afar - catch my eye.

Whenever I can, however, I hunt for the abstract: a gnome with an aghast expression buried up to its neck in snow, a bike somehow five metres up in a tree, an arrangement of wind-scattered rosepetals that seem to have been placed directly in front of a sewage pipe. The unexpected and unpredictable thrills me.

I use a Canon Powershot A570 IS camera, whatever that is.

For my favourite photos ~ from 3500/11gb, I selected 75/8mb.
