"Training is such a vital part of preparation for a game, you really do train to play. It tops up your ability, like sharpening a carving knife. You can get away with not doing it for a while, as long as you have reached a certain standard of fitness."
Fitness
"Why go now? That is the question people asked when I announced I was retiring. A combination of things made me feel it was all drawing to a natural end."
People
"We spent a lot of time on the beach when I was young so I'd also take pictures of seaweed and crabs."

"The problem for me is that I've never actually studied photography, so it's quite a steep learning curve. Cameras these days do so much for you automatically but I still think there's a point where you should actually know the technical side."
Learning
"I was pleased that two very disparate photographs, two images that each worked in their own way had appealed enough to other people for them to buy them. I was also relieved they weren't the last ones purchased, and that they sold for a pound more than the frame was worth."

"Digital has obviously changed things a lot, but not all for the better as far as I'm concerned. Of course it's much more convenient and you're getting instant results, but to me it just lacks the finesse of a roll of film and it has a slightly superimposed feel."

"The first year I sold a photo to was a lady who thought I was a chef, for some reason. I've no idea why."
Thought
"I'd very much like to create my own style as a photographer, even if it's just for myself."
Style
"What it all boils down to for me is having the enthusiasm to do something for enjoyment and being stimulated by what's around you. That's what photography does for me."
Enthusiasm
"I've never put myself in the mindset that I'm actually any good at taking pictures, I just love to shoot things that catch my eye, whether it's landscapes or just my kids."
