Statement
"My affection for greater Manchester is born out of the landscape,
and the people who inhabit it. The part of Bolton that I grew up in
has a strong industrial past - this synergy has thus far, been a recurring
theme throughout my work. In my projects I have often focussed on contemporary
issues, but with a considered reference to the past, realising that
that which we do now, becomes our future past - as each second passes.
I take pictures to gain a deeper understanding of the world around me.
The camera gains me access to places that mere curiosity will not normally
allow."
