| I 
      started taking photographs when I was 14 years old, borrowing my dad's camera. 
      My interest grew and very soon I had my own camera. I studied O and A level 
      photography in Kent and then moved down to study photography at Plymouth 
      College of Art and Design. Five years later, and with qualifications in 
      photography, film and television, I was offered a job at PCAD. Although 
      film production was my ultimate goal, photography somehow kept luring me 
      back and the beauty of the South West kept me away from the bright lights 
      of London. |
