Rob Davies
Rob Davies writes: "I've been taking photographs
since the early 70's but really started to take it seriously between
'75 - '80. Mid to late 80's, due to costs, I shelved photography
as a serious interest, it was costing me too much and I turned my
attentions for a while to video. However, since I purchased a computer
around 5-6 years ago, I found a keen interest in manipulating
images through programs like - firstly, Corel Photopaint and then
Ulead Photoimpact. This led me to invest in a small digital
camera. I replaced that very quickly with a Nikon Coolpix, and now own
a Canon G5. I enjoy taking pictures. I enjoy more - taking pictures
that I can see something 'more' in. I love to be in &
photograph ruins, ancient places, spiritual places, forests and
woods. I really enjoy creating 'mood' in my pictures so much of my work
is in this area of manipulation. I also like very much to get out
in bad weather conditions with my camera. On a personal level -
I'm nearing my 50th birthday, married and have a son and daughter. I
work looking after nightshifts at a hotel. This allows me time to get
out and about with my camera with plenty of daylight."
