In my early years as a photographer I was influenced by fashion photographers such as David Bailey and Patricl Lichfield, their images influenced my own development as I strove to achieve my own personal goals. These have long since been attained and replaced by others, some of which I still enjoy.
Photography broadened my mind and kept me young, it taught me tolerance and kept me grounded, it gave me sun stroke and also frostbite, it has allowed me to travel but also crash land. It has taught me patience, having stood around all day, and taught me endurance having worked all night, but most of all, it has given me memories that are captured on film.
