Artist's statement - mapping the psychogeographic landscape
I'm interested in depicting how human behaviour is affected by our environment, where the environment is both biotic and abiotic. I think of my photography as a study of human natural history and ecology, and my approach has been informed by my academic studies of other (non-human) animals.
We enjoy traditional nature documentaries, and birdwatchers will often spend hours waiting for a small nondescript brown bird to leave its nest, for example, but we rarely stop to examine and consider our own everyday behaviour in such detail.
Site history
I've been practising photography off and on for over 20 years. Five years ago I bought a little digital camera and in the first couple of months took a zillion pictures. I initially set up this site purely as a photo diary (if you look at the first couple of months there are insect close-ups and blurred concert pics) but it gradually changed from a record of what I'd been doing to what I felt were interesting photos. Most shots are taken with a Nikon D70; recently I've been using the Pentax K10D. Apologies for the ramshackle, jumbled look of this site - it's overdue for a rehaul and general tidy up!
Print sales/the bit for picture editors and scroungers
Many of the pictures are available as prints and for editorial use upon payment of an appropriate fee.

Note to micropayment trawlers: it's extremely unlikely that I will license use of images for a few pence for the thrill of appearing on p. 234 of a science textbook, so don't bother asking! I've worked in publishing - there's a budget for production and printing, so there should be a reasonable budget for photographs, you cheapskates!
