I worked as commercial photographer and image-maker for 5 years before embarking on a career as an egghead in the field of visual communication 17 years ago. Much to my surprise I discovered I enjoy kicking around ideas as much as I do making photographic images. I've combined these twin pleasures in my perennial pursuit of developing a meaningful theory of image-making in my crusade against the tyranny of semiotic deconstruction that has dominated photographic theory. I reckon by the time I shuffle off this mortal coil I might have some vague inkling of what such a theory might be.
