Yup…I’ve even been a landscape photographer…and really should never have stopped! I had a few exhibitions and had work published in magazines including a front cover but never made much money from it.
The exhibitions were great for the soul…but lousy for the pocket!
The photo used for the magazine cover was this one of the Pinnacles Desert in Western Australia, an amazing and very spiritual place.
Located in the Nambung National Park, the Pinnacles are limestone pillars rising up to three and a half metres tall. Some are jagged and sharp-edged columns, rising up to a point; while others resemble tombstones.
If ever you take a holiday in Western Australia you have to see the Pinnacles Desert!
The photography started by accident when a girlfriend and I decided to go travelling. I just thought I’d better buy a camera to have some photos of the journey. We were going to the USA, New Zealand and Australia and it was while we were driving across the States I discovered a passion for taking landscape photographs.
Ask me to take wedding photos, or portraits of children, or pets and you won’t see me for dust. I’d be shouting something about having no patience!!
Put me in a landscape and I’d happily wait, and have done so, for 2 or 3 hours for the right light! Go figure that one!...I can’t.
