Watchers

Welcome to all reading this journal  my regular feature of the work of others. Before I launch into my latest collection of inspirational works to me, I would just like to thank every body that sent best wishes etc, while I was undergoing surgery, it was very much appreciated. Recovery is slow but sure, and in time I will be able to get out more with my camera!!

Now down to the usual business  it is time to feature the work of others, artists whose work has inspired me since my last journal entry. The selections made by no means cover everyone that deserves to be here. In time many many more will follow, as with each passing week I discover so many more talented creative people on here, that one journal entry could never do them all justice. So many of you out there are producing work that leaves me in awe, and it would be unfair of me not to acknowledge the creators of work that has caught my eye and imagination. This journal features some of the more recent works that have stopped me in my tracks. They are presented in no  particular order, they are simply a selection that I believe need to be seen and acknowledged by others for their beauty, artistry and ability. I would encourage you all to visit each artist featured as I truly believe that in the DA community we learn so much from each other.

There will be more features to come in the future, so many of you inspire me, I want to share that with everyone who comes to my page. Finally once again a big thank you to all my watchers, those that favourite, or give llama badges, those that comment, and to anyone who just stops by for a browse. Each and everyones support is truly appreciated.

Simon
Artist | Hobbyist | Photography
New Zealand
I am a amateur photographer who became interested in predominanly early morning landscape photography when I bought my first canon eos digital camera. At the time I lived in the Lake District in England, and that inspired my interest in landscape photography. I now live in New Zealand in an area where I take mostly early morning misty shots. I am very keen to engage with other serious photographers, all be it I am an amateur, to learn and develop my skills.

I would also like to thank my wife, Dawn, whose encouragement and support motivates me to get better each day as a photographer.
TO EVERYONE THAT VISITS MY PAGE, FAVOURITES WORK, PLACES A WATCH, A LLAMA BADGE OR COMMENT, I THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. SADLY I AM NO LONGER IN A POSITION TO ANSWER YOU ALL INDIVIDUALLY, SOMETHING I ALWAYS PRIDED MYSELF FOR. I RECIEVE A HIGH NUMBER MOST DAYS AND CANNOT DEVOTE THE INCREASING TIME REQUIRED TO DO SO, DUE TO NUMEROUS PERSONAL AND WORK COMMITMENTS. PLEASE DO NOT PERCIEVE IT AS IGNORANCE AS TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VISIT MY PAGE AND I HOPE YOU FIND SOMETHING INTERESTING AND THAT YOU ENJOY.

Current Residence: New Zealand
Favourite photographer: Marti Friedlander,Yuan Li, Andris Apse, Ansel Adams
