The first half of 2012 has been a strange period of inactivity for me – so far all I've done creative photography wise is one model shoot, a couple of hours out shooting infrared and a couple of hours shooting landscapes a few days ago.
This inactivity has given me a lot of time to reflect on the images I have been taking over the last few years and I find a great many of them lacking. So the time is ripe for a big gallery clear out over the coming weeks…

I've been considering this gallery clear out for a while but held off because I wanted to achieve one small landmark here on DA, which I did a couple of weeks ago – namely one million deviation views.
Now I know that these sort of DA statistics aren't really important in the grand scheme of things, but to put this into context for you – when I joined this site in 2007 I'd been taking photographs for a number of years and in that time id only had the confidence to show my work to a very small handful of people.
So 4 ½ years later to be able to say that my images have been viewed a million times on this site alone is a huge turn-around from the photographer I was in 2007 – and a great testament to this site for being an excellent place to build an audience and grow in confidence as an artist.
So big thanks to everyone who's taken time to check my work out over the last few years

Despite the slow 'artistic' start to the year, on the 'bread and butter' side things have been picking up. I've got the first wedding of the year under my
Belt with two more booked this summer and I have just become an 'approved' photographer for a large corporation which has already started to prove profitable and should generate a four figure slice of income this year
