This site is a collection of photos that I have taken on my days out since moving to France. I spend most of the winter skiing and most of the summer mountain biking and climbing.
I moved to Chamonix at the tail end of 2000 just in time for the winter season and stayed there till the summer of 2006. I then moved to the little known town of Guillestre in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes. Nestled between the Ecrins on the West and the Queyras on the East this is about as good a spot for the outdoors that you could ever imagine. It has every thing that Chamonix has in spades, and less people to battle with to get first tracks.
I have always experienced moments that I would like to capture and hold on to, and I am finding that taking photos is one way to do that. My brother gave me a digital camera around 2001 and I have been taking hundreds of photos ever since. I am not a great photographer so most of them go into the recycle bin but I hope through persistence that I have managed to take some that are worth looking at.
