It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.

I have always loved reading, so was interested in the literary world, and took many literary portraits.

What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.

Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.

I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

I've been working with the land for most of my life; walking it and photographing it. And I love it to bits.
