It all started when…

For the longest time I have wanted to use a camera, take pictures and explore the creative side of my brain. In school I was really into Art, I was also into golf and those two talents took me across the world to Paris. No, not Paris, France… Paris, Texas…

Yep, that is an Eiffel Tower with a cowboy hat on top…

I took that photo on a Sony 10 megapixel camera! I remember when I managed to persuade my parents to get me a camera, I just knew it was going to be so good. Then when digital cameras came out I was one happy bunny!

That camera went everywhere with me and got some crazy drunken pictures in all parts of the world.

It wasn’t until 2007 that I really pined for a big digital camera, baring in mind in 2012 was the first time I dipped into my bank account to get one.

I had just quit my job in London as a Bar Manager with the intention of becoming a photographer. To be honest I had no idea what I was doing… I was just really depressed in my job and instead of using the equivalent of 4 months salary that I had saved up to fund finding a job, I went out and bought myself a £700 camera and proceeded to order pizza to the house every day.

I think I spent about 3 days out of the 6 months that I was out of work actually taking photos and leaving the room.

My plan of being a photographer was, well, not going to plan at all.

Still, I think I got some good shots on those days out… What do you think?
