If you have been to my web-site before, "Welcome back"

I have up-loaded four new images into the Gallery which I hope enjoy. Please send me your feedback.

On this website you will find an eclectic mix of photographs. My technique is to create an image from a simple photograph, into something different - something that might be worth exhibiting, something I like to call Digital Art. These creative interpretations are not to everyone's taste - but that is art!

This web-site has not been designed for commercial purposes. It is for my own amusement and mental exercise! However, if you would like to buy a print, framed or simply mounted, please get in touch.

One or two visitors to this web-site have asked why I don't have a blog. The simple answer is that I want visitors to "talk" to me - and not the world, where I have often noticed people getting into discussions, even arguments, that don't concern me or my web-site. So if you want to say hello to me privately - send me compliments or criticisms, then this is the way to do it - through the "Contact Me" page


So what is Digital Art?
A graphic artist would use a pen and tablet, and a lot of skill, to draw images onto a computer screen: to create a digital image. I use photographs and manipulative software to produce a similar result. Digital art is not photography. I might use only one photograph and manipulate that ......



.........or several photographs:






In each case I start with and idea but, like the painter artist, quite often sometimes throw it all away and start again if I feel it is not working. I will work on an image over several sessions, possibly over several days, weeks or even months until I feel I have produced something I like - just like an artist. I find that an excellent test is to re-visit the image several times and when I get to the stage when I feel I don't need to carry out further adjustments, I consider it's done. Or maybe! The effect of an image in print can look very different to one on a screen. I have been known to re-visit an image six months or more to make sure it gives the effect I want.

You will notice in the gallery that there are several images which are obviously straight-forward photographs. I plan to replace them over time with "Digital Art". But in the mean-time, please enjoy and even send me your comments.
