I'll always be an amateur photographer.

I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.

I'm not a serious photographer like many of my contemporaries. That is to say, I am serious about not being serious.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my loved ones, young and old, and at least once a year we get together for a formal family photograph.

Everybody's got to do something... I'd been on my own since an early age and I thought I better find something to do to buy biscuits and stuff. From high school onwards I was earning my way with photography, one way or another, working in darkrooms and taking pictures of weddings, neighbors' children and so on.
