Message from Paul Davies
My photo collection spans 16 years of worldwide travel. I first became interested in photography back in 1992 when I spent 6 months at college in New Jersey. This allowed me to practice taking photos with my father's old semi-automatic Yashica. The Eastern USA gallery shows some of these early photos, including the mammoth Twin Towers which now sadly are no more. Since then I have done a couple of big round-the-world trips plus many shorter adventures. In the summer of 2006 I completed the mammoth Trans-Mongolian railway journey taking in China, Mongolia and Russia.
My love of photography is fuelled by the fact that light is ever changing. No one moment is the same as the next. A scene can be dull and grey one moment but in a split second burst of sunlight it can illuminate into millions of new colours and tones. Even when we ritually photograph the same wondrous places, no two photos are the same. Also having added a varied collection of photos from my own country, the UK, I firmly believe that beauty is everywhere, including your back yard, as well as exotic places far away.
"The planet is an amazing mix of human chaos and the handy work of mother nature. Historic and modern architecture created from extraordinary human endeavours exist alongside timeless landscapes of mountains, rivers, jungles and deserts. Let's enjoy travelling around the planet, but make sure we look after it". Paul R Davies 2008
