This is a good friend of mine, a fabulous photographer as many on this site will know. I have watched him develop from rooky to champion over the years and he is now my inspiration as far as photography is concerned.

This is Jack. A terrific Lancashire Farmer who gave me much help when I moved into my house 10 years ago. He always made time to talk to people. I made this portrait when I was out walking and he commented that no one had bothered to take his picture before. Sadly Jack never saw it as he died not long after I took it.

This is Dave a life long friend and exceptional cellist. He is the co principal cello at Covent Garden in London. He is a character of sharp wit and has a somewhat cynical view of life but one couldn't wish for better company.
