What we see changes what we know. What we know changes what we see.” Jean Piaget

 

I’ve been taking photographs since my grandfather gave me his 1939 Rolleicord Model 4 for my eleventh birthday; I still have the negatives and prints from those first photographs. I now work with the a Leica Q2 and a Leica CL.

Becoming a member of the Royal Photographic Society helped to develop my work and in  2022 a submission of a panel of intimate landscapes was awarded their Associateship  distinction.  I’m a member of their Landscape,  Documentary,  Digital Image and Visual Arts Special Interest Groups which connect me to people with similar interests.

I experience photography as a means of connecting with the world and enjoy the solitary mindfulness of capturing images.  Jean Piaget wrote, “What we see changes what we know. What we know changes what we see.”  My photography is held in this tension of seeing and knowing.
