One of my fascinations in life is to try and seek out things that I believe other people are either unaware of or, if they are, they just plain ignore. One of the ways I do this is through photography. Being an artist that enjoys using photographic collage as a medium I find it very useful to have my own personal library of photographic textures. What you see below are examples of my texture photography. If you explore other areas of this site and look at some of the artwork and illustrations I have produced it is possible you may start to see where I have used some of these images. There a lot of truly horrible and ugly things in this world and yet, sometimes, true beauty is right under our noses. We just have to know where to look for it.
