Health Scare

 

From October 2021 to May 2025 my time availability for photography changed. I had full-time employment in a non-photography post and this impacted a

great deal on hours I could spend developing and updating my portfolio.

​

Then in May 2025, another life changing moment occurred when I suffered a seizure at home and was rushed to A&E at my local hospital - Forth Valley.

I was kept in for 2 nights before being allowed back home.

​

I have since fainted twice when attending events: a gig at the Corn Exchange, Edinburgh and at Five Guys in Glasgow, prior to attending a gig at the OVO Hydro

and have been diagnosed as having epilepsy. This means I cannot drive until I have gone 12 months, seizure free.

 

The importance of being able to drive to capture  beautiful scenes; either very late at night or the early hours of the morning is so high, and this has

created a huge hurdle at this time.

​

But, as per the previous time that I experienced an event like this (suffering Viral Encephalitis in December 2002), my approach to life has changed. I now fit 

in as much as possible and travel when time and finances allow.

​

My next long distance travel event is a trip to California in June/July 2026. This will allow me to spend lots of hours walking around the scenic spots in

San Francisco and catching up with friends further down the coast.

​

This, also coincides with the FIFA World Cup that will be taking place in various parts of the USA, Canada and Mexico so I'll have some time to watch the

matches.​

​

Please spend some time having a look through the images on the site, which includes a new batch of images from a range of gigs that I've attended over the past

few years. This will continuously be updated with additions from the events I have booked for this year (check Future Events tab).
