Well. I’m originally Danish, but I’ve lived most of my life in Ireland so I guess I’m Irish. I’ve been interested in photography for ever really, but life got in the way and it took a very back seat for years.
In February of 2005, when I was 35, I suffered a severe stroke but about two or three years later I took the camera up again as I had plenty of time on my hands and I thought it might help with my recovery. I don’t get around too well now of course and my balance is awful so although I might ‘see’ a good photo-op I’m seldom in a position to act on it. I get tired easily too which doesn’t help.
I don’t think anyone inspires me either as I tend to like fairly wide subjects, but I’m mostly drawn to black and whites, macro and portraits, and I don’t know why – weddings. I don’t like weddings really. I’m not to prolific now because of my ‘condition’, but even though I may not post too often I’m always looking.
I use a Canon EOS 50D with various lenses and other bits…I’d love to own a 5D Mk II, but that’s a way off yet.
