Your Bio

Greetings & Welcome to my world of Photos.

I have a couple of hobbies and luckily for me some of them work together. I am the proud owner of a Mini Cooper "S" with the JCW package thus the high number of Mini Cooper pictures. Occasionally other owners of Mini's get together to share their love for Minis and those are great photo opportunities.

I also like to shoot landscapes, flowers & the occasional wedding, so there will be quite a few shots of these scenes. My friends have told be that I shoud go into business for myself taking photos and selling some of my cool shots. So if you see something you would like a copy of please zip me an email at:

cbowens@mac.com

Thanks & Have a look around
