He shared his passion for capturing the beauty of Cornwall with numerous groups, including The Royal Institution of Cornwall, Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and the London Cornish Society.

These vibrant colors bring life to his ordinary camera shots, creating stunning images that leave viewers in awe. This particular photograph transports us back in time to witness the grandeur of Launceston Castle during its heyday.
