A view onto the world
I have hesitated about setting up a website for my photographic endeavours for a long time. This is a hobby not a professional activity and there is much that I don't know about photography and image making. I know what I want, how I want to set up the elements in a composition but I feel I seldom achieve it. I do try, though!
I have said elsewhere that in good measure what I aim at is not necessarily to show the world 'as it is' -it might be that such a thing is impossible, but what my perception of a particular moment in that world may be. We do not perceive the world directly, we mediate it through our senses and what our mind makes of those perceptions based on our make up and experience. So there even before we take the photograph there already is a filter. I aim at showing a little bit of that window onto the world.
This site's layout and contents are very much provisional and will change as I get a clearer idea of what I want to show and the way I may want to do it.
Gear: I don't have any high end photographic gear. Over the years I've had several Canon DSLR cameras: a 350d, a 450d, 30d and currently a 250d and a mirrorless Canon and an assortment of lenses by Canon and Tamron, which have served me well. Increasingly, as phone cameras have got better over the years, I've been using my phone more and more to capture images. Currently this is an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
