I'm a British software developer and photographer living in Vancouver, BC. I mainly photograph landscapes, cityscapes, night scenes, and water.

If you're interested in any of the settings I used or post-processing done on my photos, don't hesitate to ask!

I don't manage to do a 'true' project, posting a photo every day, but this project does encourage me to take photographs and post more often than I otherwise might. I typically post a photo every two or three days.

=== Contact Me ===

If you have any questions about my photographs, please feel free to ask them in a comment. I will try and answer all questions.

If you would like my advice on one of your photos, mention me in a comment on that photo and I'll try and stop by.

If you want to contact me privately, the best way to do so is to send me a message via my website, and I'll get back to you via e-mail:

=== Purchase Prints ===

Due to popular demand I make a number of photos available to purchase as prints in various sizes, on various mediums (photo paper, canvas, etc.) and with or without frames. If there's a photo you like that you can't see on there, drop me a message!

Many thanks for your support!

=== Tools ===

I've written a couple of tools that provide function for 365project users. These are generally written in a few minutes and are fairly lacking in design, but some people find them useful. I make no guarantees that they will work for you, but if you do find a problem with them, contact me (see above) and I'll try and sort it out.

-- Popular Page Stats --

=== Social Networks ===

I'm a member of a number of social networks where you can follow me:

-- Flickr --

Most of the photos I'm proud of end up on Flickr within a few days. This is the best place to view my photos if you want to see all the detail in them:

-- Twitter --

My postings on Twitter are both of a photographic nature and of a software development nature, so may not appeal to everyone. However, I will post photos from my camera phone on Twitter, which usually don't make it anywhere else!

-- Facebook --

Almost all the same photos that I post here I also post on my Facebook page, so it's another good place to see higher-resolution versions of my work. If you'd like to be kept updated with my work via Facebook, please like my page!

-- Google+ --

I don't use Google+ as much as I should do, but if you do, please add me to a circle -- the more people who do so, the more I'll be reminded to use Google+ more regularly!
