We often see things in nature which are not what they at first seem... I once stood stock still, 4 metres away from a pheasant for over 5 minutes before it turned into dead bracken stems. I love these perceptual shifts; to be able to see things in another way is the root of creativity and new ideas within whatever sphere you work.

I usually have an idea of what will happen with my photographs, but the full details only reveal themselves after completion. Guardian TSO1 is a particular favourite. I see it as the World Tree, as represented in many mythologies and religions, with its roots in the Earth or Lower World, the trunk in our Middle World and its head and branches in the Upper World.

TSO6, the dead Alder Buckthorn was a case of being in the right place at the right time; one cubic inch difference in 3-d space, and this image would not have come into being. I have tried finding this precise, minute, point again several times, as I only have one image; but to no avail. This image represents to me, male and female polarities meeting; love; the birds and the bees; transformation; sex.
