I am David.

My first introduction to photography was at nine years old when my grandfather handed me his Kodak folding film camera.

I have not lost the excitement I experienced that day nearly sixty years later.

These days I am most enthusiastic about making pictures in the urban environment whether it is people I see, the places I visit or when my perception becomes more abstracted.

I prefer to photograph the environment I find myself in and record people’s interactions without influencing them.

My philosophy may change for objects, whether in detail or for abstraction, but there are no hard and fast rules and my emotions usually influence it at the time.

Always in black and white?

Maybe because our brains see contrast, texture & shape before colour is applied elsewhere it appeals to my ‘first sight’.
