From dawn to dusk...

I’ve talked quite a bit about early mornings here on Anglesey, but the evenings can be pretty special too. Give me a cold beer, a campfire, some sand dunes and a guitar and, with a setting sun for a light show, I couldn’t ask for more. (Well, maybe some barbecued food wouldn’t go a miss) It’s a treat we always share with visiting friends and it’s a memory that stays with them for weeks, months and even years.
The island measures around 30 miles north to south by 25 mile east to west, so you can find a beach or cliff top in next to no time. And even in the height of the summer holidays there are places you can still go and be by yourself - if you know where to find them.
I first came to Anglesey back in the seventies when a bunch of friends decided that country living was the real thing. They headed off in a camper van from London and drove north having no idea where they were going. Someone saw there was an island at the tip of North Wales and a decision was made that would impact on all our lives. I followed them here a few months later and remained here for over four years before, one by one, we drifted back to what felt like the outside world. We all had our different reasons, mine was to try and make it in the music business as a musician and composer. After ten years of playing in all sorts of bands around London I eventually sold off the instruments and bought a camera and started to photograph musicians instead of playing with them, and that’s how I got into the photographic business, but that’s a whole other story for a whole other day.

Chill!
