The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph.

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.

When you watch the view, the view also watches you because you are also a view! If you can realise this, then you can also realise that there is no view, but only the viewer or there is no viewer, but only the view!

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

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