Whilst Ivor was a professional musician for all his working career, any observer would identify his second preoccupation and passion was photography.

The result is a lifetime of images, both posed and spontaneous which clearly show Ivor's appreciation, sensitivity and artistic perception of humanity and places.

The body of work accumulated is immense, from family memories to far away places. All who look through these images cannot fail to be overwhelmed by the detail that sets a record to over fifty years of observing and recording.

Ivor's photographic skills and professionalism won him many competitions over the years. His sometimes solitary perseverance can be an example to us all. His images not only show his talent at taking photographs, but the printing of his own images completes the cycle of artistic creation. Ivor the musician, the photographer, the wonderful human being will be a fruitful memory to all who knew him.

This portfolio of images created over fifty years is a small token of the many thousands of photographs that were taken. The portfolio contains 30 examples of landscapes, portraits and scenes from both this country and worldwide. In addition there are two self portraits, one close up of Ivor at the peak of his creative years and a second set against the Parthenon in Greece. The sum of Ivor's work is a cultural contribution both to his immediate family and the world at large.
