I should probably start by explaining why I’ve put this site together since I already have a photoblog and a portfolio site and it might seem a bit excessive having three separate photography websites now. Well, perhaps it is excessive and I just like to keep myself busy but I do feel that they each have (and will continue to have) quite distinct purposes. My portfolio site has been alive in various different forms for a number of years now and essentially showcases my favourite work whereas my photoblog was created as a means of keeping me clicking away as much as possible (which, overall, has worked!).

My photoblog, which is powered by pixelpost, is very much set up to show off my photographs with the image descriptions being a secondary (perhaps incidental?) function. I do really enjoy writing about my photography – whether it’s explaining what technique I used to capture an image or how I achieved a particular result in photoshop – but feel that it’s perhaps lost on my current photoblog. It’s also so much easier to put posts together using wordpress, which powers this site. Hopefully then the three sites can sit comfortably with each other.

So there we go – hopefully I’ve justified (to myself more than anyone) why I’ve spent my time putting this site together and I’m really hoping that as it grows it will be a useful resource for some of you out there. Just about everything I’ve learned about photography has come from people on the web sharing their knowledge on sites such as dpreview and fujimugs so I know how helpful things like these can be.

I receive quite a lot of emails asking me about particular photos or processing techniques, so if there’s anything you’d like to know about please drop me an email and I’ll try and put something on here to cover it.
