Peter Holloway is a freelance Web Designer and IT Consultant now living in Southport, England. Peter was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in the suburbs of Belfast between Newtownbreda and Carryduff - just off the Saintfield Road. Peter attended Cairnshill Primary School, Annadale Grammar School and Newtonwbreda Baptist Church and studied at the University of Ulster and for a London University BD through Belfast Bible College.

I was so busy thinking about what to enter for the next round of Amateur Photographer of the Year 2009 that I wasn’t expecting to see the results for Round 4 just yet. But there it was, sitting on the shelf in the newsagents’ shop with the ‘AP09′ logo in the corner. I thumbed through, and there in 22nd place was my shot of Ainsdale Dunes! After missing the first two rounds I now have a grand total of 67 points, which is one point below 10th place on the overall leader board.
As I dropped Stuart off at work this morning the tide was right in, so I took a few photographs. I liked the slightly misty ethereal look of this one.
A few months ago someone suggested to me via Flickr that I create a book from some of my photographs of the Southport to Formby coastline.
Well, I’ve finally got around to doing it. It’s been published via Blurb and you can see a limited preview by clicking on the link below.
For the first time ever last month I entered an image in the Amateur Photographer of the Year competition. The round 3 subject was outdoor portraits and I chose this image of Davey because of his expression, and the dripping ice cream cone. It was a difficult image to use as Davey passed away shortly after this trip to New Brighton, but I’m glad that I did.
As the results of this round aren’t due out until Saturday I wasn’t expecting to see the results in this week’s Amateur Photographer so it was a very pleasant surprise to see my picture in print - 7th place at my first attempt is very encouraging!
