I am by occupation a designer, yet a passion for photography and music have accompanied me throughout my life. I see an aesthetic element running through all these threads.
In a simplistic overview: design is essentially utilitarian, though it may hold beauty; whilst art may have beauty, but essentially it is about emotion.
It was a desire to visually capture some of the emotion in the music which I so enjoyed that led me to pursue rock ‘n’ roll photography in my twenties.
The responsibilities of parenthood eventually put an end to that career, and I spent the next few decades focusing primarily on my design practice.
Then, after several decades of these negatives sitting idle in my basement, I had a period of forced convalescence where I needed some meaningful distraction, thus providing the opportunity to scan any photos still of interest from the 40,000 odd black and white negatives I had hung onto for so long (plus twelve boxes of colour slides).
