Other Hats I Occasionally Wear…

I’m not just photography, as much as I enjoy that. I also write poetry and prose over at A Bloke Dyslexic. Some people like to combine their visual art with their written work but I prefer to keep them seperate, hence seperate websites.

I’m not quite sure why? I think it might be that I like the words to speak for themselves without any visual prompt and the photography and (dare I use the term?) art without any words. That way the viewer and reader can interpret it as they feel and respond as they like.

I don’t see why a reader or viewer should be led by the nose…

There’s also a few books:

Of the Sea by me, which you’ll find on Amazon wherever you may be. The link is for the UK but you’ll be able to get a paperback or ebook from your local Amazon:

My first novel, Life and Liberty which is also available on Amazon:

And I’m merely an editor on Life, Nature and the Spirit, which is a collection of my late mother’s poetry which I found scattered around the house when she went into care:
