| I am from Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom. I work as a legal-linguistic expert in the Council of the European Union in connection with EU laws. I have worked in Brussels for many years. I have taken pictures since 1968 as an amateur, in black-and-white and colour. I currently work with digital technology because of its creative diversity. My pictures for this exhibition were taken with an Olympus and a Lumix digital camera respectively. Picture-making is a way of life; it counterbalances a stressful working life and enriches it. As a linguist, I love languages and the spoken and written word, but making pictures gives an extra dimension. It allows the expression of ideas without words; it opens up the world a little bit more to our understanding; we see things we would otherwise have missed; and it is great fun! I have started to study semiotics, the science of signs, and this has added a new dimension to my appreciation and making of images. My pictures for this exhibition were taken on a snowy January day by Lac de Gérardmer, in the Vosges in France, where a man was feeding the birds; and on a December day on a walk up towards Lantau peak in Hong Kong, China, where new sculptures with Taoist quotations had been erected. |
