Travel nominee

New York was new to me and I visited in late summer / Autumn as a complete newbie to the city. What hit me was the surprising spectrum of colour at sunrise and sunset, in a city that had promised me architecture and buildings but certainly not COLOUR.
That and the magnificent vistas that forced me into a "physical panning" of my head to take it all in, was an enormous surprise. to somebody that's so used to cities presenting its treasures in much narrower views...!
This was the first time I had ever considered panos in DNG format and once started, it was difficult to stop!

In my time I have been a shop assistant, a teacher, a doctor, an army officer, an acupuncturist, a sports physician, a distiller, a bar tender and a mixologist. I have also climbed many mountains, flown planes (badly), ridden motorcycles and played bass guitar.
Through all of this, I have slowly but surely developed my photography as a means of expressing the importance of travel, meeting people and seeing without talking.
Photography is the closest I will ever come to time travel - any image is a moment of captured time and I can revisit that time whenever I look at it. So I want my images to be something that people can visit by themselves and in doing so, lose themselves in that little packet of time.
