Q: Do you like to talk about yourself or your pic- tures? If yes, about what aspects of photography? A: I enjoy the interaction with other photogra- phers whether discussing technical aspects or great locations and photo opportunities. This helps generate new ideas, learn new techniques and hopefully also impart some my own knowl- edge.
Q: When did you decide to become a photogra- pher? A: Photography has always interested me but it was only about 4 years ago that I decided to stop just taking snaps and really improve my skills and start taking good images.
Q: What does photography mean to you? A: It is an expression of ideas, an interpretation of what one sees, the capture of a moment in time, the focus on something that the normal eye misses and the joy of creating a pleasing image.
Q: Can you recall the first photo you took that made you go WOW? A: I remember as a very young boy an old box type camera my Dad had that only did black and white and when I had taken a roll of film and had it processed I was really proud that I had taken those pictures. Regrettably I did not follow through from then, I guess to many other distrac- tions at that age.
Q: Do you have any formal training regarding photography? A: I have no formal training and have learnt from reading books and magazines and from other photographers.
Q: How technical is your photography?

The technical aspects are important to know but there is a time when you need to let instinct take over and concentrate on capturing the image. Often the best photos are taken at this time as one captures the mood and feeling. That is why I do believe it is necessary to learn and fully understand the technicalities so as not to miss the shot while fiddling around with settings etc.
Q: Where is your favourite place to live and work as a photographer in the World and why? A: I have only ever lived and taken my serious
