I am from Essex, England. I took up photography as a hobby and after moving to Germany in 1999 and getting my first experience with a digital camera, the hobby has grown into a passion which has grown from strength to strength. From a Nikon Coolpix 995 as my starter camera, I have moved on to Olympus E-3, E-1 and E-300 as well as a variety of lenses including a Zuiko 300mm F2.8 lens which has been invaluable since moving to the Cayman Islands in June 2005.
