I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.

I am away so much, so I rarely see live TV, but I use iPlayer to catch programmes.

For those aspiring to make a living from travel photography, it's a sad fact that the boring shots are the shots that are going to make you money.

Taking photos is a form of collecting.

I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.

If you photograph for a long time, you get to understand such things as body language. I often do not look at people I photograph, especially afterwards. Also when I want a photo, I become somewhat fearless, and this helps a lot. There will always be someone who objects to being photographed, and when this happens you move on.

I am not a huge follower of music and tend to like one CD and play it to death, usually when I am washing up.
