ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic, award-winning amateur photographer based in the South-West of England doing my best to juggle a busy day job with a real passion for creating a broad range of images.

I've been taking pictures for most of my adult life, but over the last 10 years or so I've started to consider myself a photographer in the artistic sense of the word.

Nestled at the foot of Errigal (the hightest mountain in County Donegal) and overlooking the beautiful Poisoned Glen sits the beautiful 'Old Church of Dunlewey'.<br /><br />Jane Smith Russell had the church built as a memorial to her husband, James Russell, landlord of the Dunlewey Estate, who died on 2nd September 1848<br /><br />The church is built of white marble and blue quartzite which was quarried locally. <br /><br />With the decline of the Dunlewey Estate the potential congregation diminished and the church was not in regular use. The expense of the upkeep and the passage of time added to the deterioration of the church. In 1955 the roof was removed as a safety measure.
