Me!
Back before social media was a thing, someone said it was vain to have a page with my pictures on. But now we have Twitter and Facebook and Instagram so who's laughing now? Now I guess the question is more: why do you still have a personal website? Well at least it gives me a place to back up my photos that I actually have some control over.
I'm more comfortable behind the lens than in front, but a while back I started trying to keep a current picture on my site. Before social media it was a lot harder to know what people looked like, which was a problem if you ever wanted to meet in real life. Or just were really, really nosey.

Egypt, May 2001: introduction
The original galleries created after my trip to Egypt were split into so many chunks that an index page was necessary to navigate around. This shouldn't be the case any more, but so the page doesn't throw up broken links from search engines I'll add a few of the best pics here and you can link away to the relevant new galleries if you prefer.
