Bio & Interests
| Biography: | I began photography in the late 1950s, with a Box Brownie. My first real camera was a Pentax Sla 35mm, bought in 1963 on way down to South Georgia. I have remained true to Pentax ever since - now using a K20 and a K7 (still have my *istD & K10 bodies). However, I do use a Leica D-Lux 4 compact as my 'always-with-me' camera. I also have a Pentax Optio W90 for 'extreme' weather photography. My ambition is to own the Pentax 645D medium format camera! On returning to the UK worked for a few years as a television sound engineer (taking the opportunity to photograph a few celebrities). Member Edinburgh PS. Moved to Fair Isle in 1972 - from one remote island in the South Atlantic to another on the edge of the North Atlantic! While many of my photographs are Fair Isle landscapes, a large proportion also document island life. During the past 40 years my photographs document a change from a crofting life-style barely altered over generations, to one where Fair Isle - while trying to keep its traditional way of life - moves to accommodate the benefits of the digital age. My Fair Isle images have a particular focus on the link between land, sea and sky. Changing light-patterns frequently alter the mood, allowing many different interpretations of the same scene. This is an especially useful aspect, as my photographic activities are limited to a 'patch' just a few square kilometres in extent! As well as on www.davewheelerphotography.com, some of my images also feature on the prestigious Pentax Photo Gallery at www.pentaxphotogallery.com/davewheeler. I also show my work on Flickr (Dawadderman). |
