I love shooting scenes from everyday life.  I like to think it gives us a broader view of the world we live. Is it voyeuristic?  Of Course it is!  That's what makes it so fascinating.  The capturing of a moment in time (clichéd words I know) of that person, that happening, that moment, is the thing that I love.  To see a moment and not to shoot it is almost painful.

To quote from one of the masters

”There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture.  Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.  That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.”- Henri Cartier-Bresson

Those words could not have been more true, I’ve forgotten the number of times that I have seen an image and not had my camera with me.

This shot of 2 young kids, was taken in Brighton, totally oblivious to the camera they were content with seeing the world outside, whilst enjoying their lollipops. It was the concentration on their faces which I loved.

3 people enjoying the Autumn sunshine on the south bank of the Thames. I loved the relaxed nature of the group juxtaposed against the manicured lawn, and the formal, but entertaining water sculpture.

Pigeons in Trafalgar square on a moody afternoon reminded me of the squadrons of bombers that flew over the London during WW2 air raids.
