I’ve been sharing my photography, videos and 3d scans almost daily through my socials as well as producing tutorials, talks ,blogs and industry interviews.
Kilobytes to Terabytes
When I began working in the mid 80’s, home computers where starting to be fashionable. I had been using them since I started High school in 1980 and had already upgraded my personal computer from 1Kb (yes you read that right) of RAM on Sinclair’s ZX81 to 48K on the ZX Spectrum and then to a Commodore 64.
My first job was in a computer shop where I was tasked with upgrading a myriad of educational computers for schools, colleges and universities. I also got to play a lot of new games that I sold there as well. I got the bug for binary from way back then and have been lucky enough to grow old with its progress.
Cameras and computers went from very large to tiny compared with pocket cinema cameras, action, 360 cams and drones of today. I’ve had the experience of working with them all over the past four decades.
History & Geniuses
My hometown, Edinburgh has stunning examples of old buildings and there are monuments to the immortality of a few of the world’s leading inventors around the city and the extinct volcanoes and surrounding landscape never fail to impress locals and tourists.
This is where my love for old buildings, history and geology stemmed. Before I began 3D scanning my stills and video cameras had been aimed at those objects and subjects.
The South West of England, where I’m currently based has no shortage of them either so the last ten years living here have been a home away from home.
This monument is a memorial for one of Scotland’s freedom fighters. William ‘Braveheart’ Wallace and sits on top of a basalt crag and tail formation.
