Taking photos is a form of collecting.

I get up early and open my emails, write cheques and answer the phone; whatever needs to be done.

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.

I never think of photographs as being individual. Always as a group.

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

The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.

I am not as cross about Thatcher now as I was in the 80s. Begrudgingly, I can see that some of her policies helped modernise Britain.
