I would trace it back to 1991. That's when my fascination with ancient sites and all things megalithic began.

Why? I was in my 1st year of University and it was a year of classic albums - Nevermind; Screamadelica; Achtung Baby; Loveless; Blue Lines. It was also the year Peggy Suicide was released, which, looking back was a logical progression to Autogeddon and Jehovahkill.

My visits to sites over the years has been haphazard and sporadic but the emotions are always there. The first one is simple to explain: anticipation, but the second isn't. It's a kind of ethereal, spiritual feeling, beyond definition. I suppose it's to do with feelings and the link to our ancient past.

My usual habitats are mainly split between North Wales and Yorkshire. I am Welsh by birth - Cymro Cymraeg - my roots are in the old shires of Caernarfon and Meirionnydd, but am proud to have been given the title 'honorary Yorkshireman'!

Currently I am on a photographic odyssey which I hope can celebrate both the ancient stones manipulated by people as well as rocks shaped by the elements.
