I was trained in Psychology, Logic and Metaphysics at St Andrews - only later as a lecturer, photographer and artist.
I've been author or editor of a dozen books as well as a journalist whose features appeared in The Independent, Time Out, Sunday Telegraph and leading national magazines. I also worked in television films, one of which won Crystal Prize at the Prague Festival. My biographies of Schubert and Shostakovich come from this period.
But it was only in beating my major bout of Blues in the mid-1990's that I discovered the magical potential of digital imaging to transform our preconceptions of what we imagine the world to be like.
The resulting juxtapositions of my art and poetry have been graciously described as "fascinating and amazing" by a leading US novelist. Elsewhere these visuals found acclaim as "stunning...hauntingly beautiful": the words as "tight and life-enhancing", with a richness comparable to John Donne's.02.0122.04.2013
