I have been using digital cameras for a few years, but my love of photography began when I was sixteen. I worked in a camera shop and spent some time with a professional photographer. The first camera I used was a Zenit TTL, I have been hooked ever since. I live in Essex, UK, with my wife and three children. I enjoy exploring my home county, from it's rugged coastline to some spectacular vistas, it is steeped in history and still has traditional markets, customs and traditions. I also travel throughout the UK to capture it's landscapes, events and streets.
