Let's get one thing straight from the outset. I am not a photographer, I am a self confesseed 'Happy snapper', and I'm extremely content with that title.

Nothing in my life is taken seriously, because I fundamentally believe that life is far too short and precious a comodity to waste on the persuit of vanity inspired greatness. Everything I do is done purely for pleasure, and the day it is not- you may shoot me with a single silver bullet!

I've snapped away since time began (back in the sixties in my case), and have always loved photography and the ability to capture a frame in life which is never to be repeated. I have used Box Brownies and Nikon D300's and always enjoyed a bit of fun with them.

I'll hopefully die with a camera in my hand and record my final breath..... ha ha

My passions in life are my wife and family, followed by a lifelong affair with big and powerful motorcycles. I could not exist without music and have a diverse taste including David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Kate bush and all the way along to Damien Rice, and Leo sayer!

I can be intolerant, impatient, infuriating and stubborn, but I am also fun loving, optimistic and protective of those I love.

I'm a simple, yet complicated man!

 

Some of the photos contained here date back to European travels from 1983 to the present day.

Early photographs were taken using a humble Olympus Trip 35mm, a selection of SLR Nikon's and later a Minolta X300 SLR 35mm, and a Pentax SLR. In 2007 I purchased a Nikon D80 Digital SLR which is one of the most fantastic cameras I've ever used.

In May 2008 I splashed out on a Nikon D300 which still blows me away and far exceeds my feable skills. Am I a nikon man, oh yes!

 

ALL of the photos in this blog are copyright PAUL WILLIAMS. That would be me then.

Please contact me if you wish to use any of my images, as it's only polite and correct to do so.

I'm open to payment of chocolate for thier use, and I'm a very hospitable chap, who doesn't bite, so please ask first as it will inflate my ego that anyone likes my images, in the first place.

 

FLOOG'S law is do not steal my work, unless you wish to wake up one morning with a hamsters head lying next to you in your bed!

Well, do you have any idea how difficult it is to obtain a Horses head these days!

You have been warned.
