I started carrying a camera because I kept forgetting things. Not big things — the shape of a particular doorway, the colour a harbour turns at six in the morning, the way a cat will sit in exactly the warmest patch of a cold street. A notebook helped with words. The camera helped with everything else.

I'm based in the UK. I travel when I can, which is not as often as I'd like and more often than I probably should. Most of these trips are taken alone, or nearly alone, and most of them involve a lot of walking and not much of a plan. I find I see more that way.

I find I see more that way.

This journal is not a portfolio. It's closer to the opposite — a record of what I was paying attention to at a particular time in a particular place. Some photographs are technically imperfect. Some are just quiet. I've included them anyway.

Everything here is shot on a Nikon, in RAW, and processed slowly. I have no interest in photographs that look like they were taken quickly.
