The Statements

<TEXT GOES HERE> when I get round to writing it :-)

Many people who know Keith might say there is no shortage of statements from the artist...

OK here's one or two... :-)

"I regard the habitual use of tripods in landscape photography as a relic of the 19th century"

"Anybody who gets a magnifying glass out to look at one of my prints isn't the kind of person who is ever going to buy one."

"Striving for perfection is a fundamentally futile activity - why try to do something that by definition you will never achieve - realistic targets can sometimes be bettered, and that's really satisfying when it happens."

"I always find an 'Artist's Statement' slightly suspicious -- even more so if I think the person that wrote it really believes it."
