I am a mostly self-taught amateur photographer. I wouldn't necessarily call myself an artist.
I live in a rapidly growing village in North-east England, surrounded by low coastal farmland, and boring little fields. Most images I upload are from holidays or days out- usually in Scotland or the North-west.
I am a huge fan of fantasy and science fiction, and I greatly enjoy books, movies and games with open endings; that is, where the ending makes you feel like there is more on the way, even if there isn't. I don't like a good story to end.
