This, for me, was very much about being in the moment. I had been up and about much of the day. A sunny day in winter in Europe is not to be wasted indoors, particularly if you're there to capture a city!

By the time I reached the Pont des Arts, my energy levels were flagging and I sat down on a bench to grab a quick bite that I had purchased nearby. As my energy returned, I glanced to my right, and in a strange way, it was like seeing what someone to my left might have seen, someone eating in the afternoon sun before the Louvre Palace!

I had to pull out my camera and capture that scene as it was almost like documenting my own moment, but it was also a very Parisian moment, somone having a quick nosh on something they'd probably also grabbed at a boulangerie as they were passing by. With the beautiful old architecture as a backdrop, it will always be, for me at least, the epitome of a winter afternoon in Paris.

Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist. That was five years ago! Is it easy? No, but something truly worthwhile is rarely simple. My body of work is wide ranging from photographic scenes of far away places, more near and dear locations, and more fanciful artwork. It's all crafted with a heartfelt love for finding the beauty in little captured moments. My artwork also hangs on walls near and far from private homes to businesses who have chosen to decorate with my art. Whether you've purchased one piece or a house full or you simply admire and share with your friends, your patronage of my art is...
