AUTHOR
Gerard Blair was raised in the North of England and has lived in the South, in Scotland, Israel, Japan and now in the United States. Professionally, he was a Microchip designer and is pleased to note that in 1986 he wrote the first drafts of a funding proposal for his Professor at Edinburgh University for research into CMOS digital cameras – although this does not really help him take better photographs.
Gerard’s first attempts at photography was in 1998 with a basement darkroom, all in black and white; since then, he has moved into digital but has retained a love of contrast.
His goal in photography is to realize ineffable joys, to be surprised by the images he produces.
