I’ve been interested in photography, art and music all my life and enjoy expressing myself in these creative medias. Recently I’ve had more time to pursue this interest and along with a change of environment it has brought new inspiration. In these pages I want to share some of my work and thoughts with you, enjoy!


Grains of sand on a rusty bolt, what strange worlds within worlds run parallel to our own.
A glimpse into an alien world right here on earth.


It is said that water has memory, if so, will this stream retain something of this place as it travels on its winding path?


Nothing matches the beauty of nature, and we are part of that beauty, we must never forget that connection!

We race through life making hours seem like seconds, taking the time we have in this world for granted, blind to the beauty of stillness…… S l o w…..I t…..d o w n……. make seconds seem like hours, embrace every moment of life like its your last and truly live again, for time is only how YOU perceive it!

The pool of endless worlds and possibilities, a meeting point of multi-dimensional light and colour. The blink of an eye in this world of infinite fractals is but a single moment in time that will never be the same again. Upon entering the waters of this dream where might it take you?

Change your perspective, look at the world with renewed eyes and a new world opens up.

I believe mankind is the greatest expression of nature. We are blessed with the capacity to fully appreciate the wonders of this world. What if that is precisely why we are here? For what use is beauty without a soul to see it? Maybe we only have to open our eyes and give thanks to have meaning to our lives.

How easy it is to change the way we see our world, if the brain interprets what we see then to an extent do we not make our own personal reality, and if so what is reality?

I see fractals in everything…..
A stone on a beach, or a meteorite hurtling through space, or maybe it’s a grain of sand in an unseen world to our eyes?


Patterns, shapes and colours merge and blend, what do you see with your minds eye?

Old man of the woods shine your light for all to see,
For there’s magic in your embracing arms,
Your strength and wisdom clear to me,
The air around you soothes and calms,
So shine, shine, shine your light on me.
