I am a long-time amateur photographer born in Northern Ireland where I grew up and was educated. I started to make photographs at the age of 14 thanks to a physics teacher who taught us how to work in the darkroom. Photography has been my passion ever since. I lived for 14 years in England and then for20 years in Scotland, I have now been living (and photographing) in Cournanel for the last 8 years. I like to wander with my camera and sometimes, if I am lucky and if I am patient and if I look and listen carefully, something will speak to me. It might be some detail beside the path, a sparkle on the water or the way the light falls on stone - and it will say "excuse me, I want to be photographed". The photographs I make are my response. The photographs in this exhibition are a personal story of my exploration and discovery of the beautiful surroundings of the village of Cournanel and (almost) all were taken within the boundaries of the commune. I am delighted to be able to share them with you as part of Toques et Clochers in Cournanel. Our job is to record, each in his own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today. - Edward Abbey writer and environmentalist I am proud to have been awarded the distinction “A.F.I.A.P.” (Artiste F.I.A.P.) by the Federation Internationale de l'Art Photographique (F.I.A.P.) in recognition of my work. "Light and Shadow and Time" My passion for photography was born in the 1970s while I was still at school in Northern Ireland. One day our Physics teacher showed us how to develop a black and white film and from there, how to create a print. I was immediately captivated by the magic that took place in the darkroom and that initial sense of wonder has never diminished. Subsequently I went on to have a career in Engineering and in particular, the technology of high voltage underground power cables. During those years my passion for Photography was a constant, I made the change from film to digital in 2006, an unintended consequence of which was a freedom to explore color photography alongside my long-standing passion for black and white work.

Inspiration from Photographers and other clever people "Our job is to record, each in its own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today." Edward Abbey “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust “To consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk.” Edward Weston "You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all of the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved." Ansel Adams "The photograph isolates and perpetuates a moment of time: an important and revealing moment, or an unimportant and meaningful one, depending upon the photographer's understanding of his subject and mastery of his process." Edward Weston "This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls." John Muir "I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them." Diane Arbus "To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place.... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." Elliot Erwitt "Art is the only field that is allowed to present a world that does not exist elsewhere than in our mind. This is why we are called artists and not mad people." Julia Anna Gospodaru "Generally, the French highly promote culture and the arts, and photography is in their blood." Herb Ritts
