The opening ceremony was good, although I missed it.

Digital has obviously changed things a lot, but not all for the better as far as I'm concerned. Of course it's much more convenient and you're getting instant results, but to me it just lacks the finesse of a roll of film and it has a slightly superimposed feel.

What it all boils down to for me is having the enthusiasm to do something for enjoyment and being stimulated by what's around you. That's what photography does for me.

I've never put myself in the mindset that I'm actually any good at taking pictures, I just love to shoot things that catch my eye, whether it's landscapes or just my kids.

You need to be an adrenalin junkie when you travel with kids.

We spent a lot of time on the beach when I was young so I'd also take pictures of seaweed and crabs.

When you live by the sea, there are definite seasons when you can see the weather coming and going, which lends itself to photography.
