Personal Statement

I have lead a relatively quiet life in the UK. I have two loves, photography and the environment. Normally my 'environmental' photography has been based around nature (I live on the Isle of Wight, a beautiful and very photographic place). More recently I have been involved in the Vestas dispute here, taking full advantage of photographic opportunities when not shouting or holding banners (I like to in the thick of the protests, so to speak). I hope this is a new lease of life for my small but fabuous bottom-of-the-range digi camera - nothing fancy, does the job (a bit like me).
