Welcome to my website, as you can probably tell I am in the process of revamping the site design and content.

I have an interest in photography, especially digital so all the images used on this site have been taken by myself.
I have been using digital cameras since I bought a 3 megapixel Sony in 2000 for a travel site we used to run, allabroad.com. I now basically use whatever is to hand, my phone, an 8 megapixel Sony DSC-W100 or my favourite a Canon EOS 60D.

Now I ordinarily avoid actual paper. I like books on my Kindle, my notes and task management in markdown formatted ASCII text files, magazines on iPad and technical articles on the web packaged and emailed to the Kindle.
Alison has had a number of commissions for Origami earrings recently so I have been twisting my fingers to make the cranes. They are made from 4cm square pieces of Japanese Washi paper, folded, unfolded, glued, dried and coated with a water based varnish before being handed off to Alison to make into jewellery. Just …
A little over a year ago I started to really use my iPad 3 at work taking notes, mind mapping, email, browsing and research and handling all my planning and task management (more on this in another article).
