landscapes: about the work
Photography has always been important to me; my father and uncle were keen amateurs and I was given a used Agiflash at about 6 years old, and at 14 a Pentax Spotmatic. Our bathroom was converted to a darkroom smelling as often of chemicals as soap. Around that time I discovered turning overlapping photos into panoramas; I still have some of the negatives. From that point I was sold on landscapes, especially panoramas, a theme that has influenced much of my work.
