The view from my eye alone

I am looking and seeing all the time – I only use photographs that I have taken: they are all a part of my life’s journey and how I see, encounter and interact with the world around me. The text I add to accompany a photograph tries to enhance the connatation I have of the event I witnessed. Sometimes, on this site, I am objective, and sometimes subjective, but when the photograph is captured I am always an innocent bystander.
