Following a career as a professional geologist and an active climber and mountaineer in my early days, it was only natural that I would gravitate to landscape photography on retirement from full time work.  I see my photography output as rapidly evolving and improving as I learn new skills; particularly since I have started to have my work printed and judged. One of my particular joys is to be on my own and out in the hills before dawn, experiencing the beauty of the changing light illuminating the landscape.
