It took me years to realise that photography is about feeling, not technicalities. It’s about capturing mood, not ensuring a picture is sharp or correctly exposed. Now I’m trying to throw away the rule book and shoot more from the heart.
As well as photography, I like apples with a leaf on the stalk, freshly washed strawberries, warm samosas on a Thursday morning, expired film, The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, The Who, The Kinks, sunny Monday mornings with no traffic holdups, Friday afternoons, milky tea, my chilli plant, Ainsley Harriott cup soups, masala tea, Oreos, waking in Venice to the sound of church bells, the scent of jasmine on a warm Italian breeze, Tunnocks Teacakes, thin cut marmalade, egg butties with white pepper, fish and chips, Upstairs Downstairs, shiny shoes, stripy shirts, and bananas.
I only use compact cameras, and shoot mainly digital, but sometimes use film.
