Iron Man And His Dog

This image has a powerful meaning to me and in many ways represents my own personal circumstances of being in a very dark place, with only my dog by my side, looking towards the light but feeling eternally trapped and bogged down by difficulties of the past. With the help of my dog and building a new life with a career in photography and writing I hope to be able to step out from this darkness and make positive progress towards the light with brighter and happier days on the horizon.

Face Of Concern

Loyal and calm. The wonderful breed of Estrela Mountain Dog from the Estrela Mountains in Portugal where they are known as the Serra Da Estrela. I love the very expressive face of my dog who has a very caring and sweet nature to those she sees as her friends and family and true to her breed instincts she will protect her family at all costs from anyone or thing she perceives as a threat.

Mountain Dog Exploring A Decaying Port In Jersey

Gorey Harbour located on the East coast of Jersey was built in 1816 to support the oyster industry and is Jersey's second port. While the tide was out, we took the opportunity to explore this rugged old port which is still in operational use.

Estrela Mountain Dog Trying To Read A Signpost

Loyal and protective pastoral dog taking a walk along the Grand Union Canal at Marsworth Lock. I love the way she stopped and has the appearance that she is reading the signpost. I know the breed is highly intelligent but I think reading might just be beyond her capability.

Calm And Watchful

An Estrela Mountain Dog observing her surroundings. These days as my dog grows older we don't cover such great distances on our walks and instead we take opportunities to stop and just watch the world go by while breathing in the fresh air and taking time to relax and enjoy the nature around us.
