I was parent to three growing children, taught environmental sociology to undergraduate students and worried about the fate of the planet. I began taking photos as an escape and relaxation around 2009 and have been doing it ever since. With cataracts in both eyes as a result of an autoimmune disease, I could see the world more clearly through the lens. Now, with children grown into adults and cataracts removed, I have kept the habit of seeing the world around me through a viewfinder.

In this life…

I live in Pembrokeshire and take photos all year round, indulging my love of the natural world, including woodlands, beaches and their inhabitants. Winter, spring and autumn are my favourite seasons. My anxiety about the fate of the planet has been tempered (if only a little) by observing the capacity of coastal plants and animals to survive and flourish in the harshest of environments. I believe that nature is resilient and if given a chance will eventually recover from the depredations of human culture.

In the future…

I plan to go on taking photos forever. Pembrokeshire is beautiful, its less human parts inhabited by other life forms and ways of being. I hope you enjoy my pictures - let me know in the comments section.
