NOTE... I am constantly looking for even more inspiration in fashion, art and concepts to stimulate my interest and by virtue of that, I study, collect compilations of fashion, art and editorial images that are not owned by me and nor were reproduced by me. However my fashion images and work are displayed and interspersed within the timeline and are clearly credited as my work.

WILD CHILD ...

From my fashion shoot with stunning model newcomer Charlotte Davies - somewhere in a subway in South Wales. A fabulous beauty who went on to to do many amazing fashion shoots with me. Motherhood intervened and shes now a proud mum. Well done Charlotte for giving me the chance to capture your amazing model talent.

REMEMBERING MY GOOD FRIEND ROB PARKER - CAVE DIVER TODAY ( DIED - 17th AUGUST 1997 )

Today marks the anniversary of the passing of my close friend, Rob Parker — a name many will recognise in the world of cave diving, caving and extreme climbing.

Rob was a pioneer, always pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible, exploring new depths and forging routes where few dared to go. His courage, determination, and athleticism made him a legend within the caving and diving communities worldwide

But to me, Rob was much more than the fearless explorer people read about. I knew him as a true personal friend — someone who, away from the cave diving media glare, could share his quiet sensitivity, his humour, and the more intimate corners of his life.

We climbed together, we caved together, and often we simply talked. He was a source of support to me and to many others, generous with his time, advice, and encouragement.

Although I didnt dwell in the Pantheon pf cave diving I have many happy memories of photographing Rob's extreme climbing exploits and lesser notable cave dives

Today carries a heavy sadness. I hold close those memories of a remarkable friend behind the legend.

Rob’s legacy lives not only in the caves and climbs he discovered, but in the lives he touched with his warmth and friendship. I will always remember him as the fit, bright, and brave young man who inspired me — and continues to inspire so many — to go a little further, to look a little deeper, and to cherish the bonds we make along the way.

Rest easy, Rob. You are missed, but never forgotten
