I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.

Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.

I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.
