ABOUT ME

Benchman is my alter ego. I like nothing more than watching the world go by. I live in Wales and in my opinion I live amongst some of the best scenery in the world. Even the same views constantly change with the weather and the seasons.

I enjoy all things creative especially music and art, including photography and the use of Photoshop. With this in mind, Benchman was born. As bwaySteve said, ‘If you have a bench, you have the universe.’ It’s a very apt quote. I can take Benchman anywhere I want in my imagination. I take most of the photographs myself, usually of views that appeal to me and I think will fit in with Benchman’s view.

Ideas
I have to admit though, some of the ideas end up being completely different to how they started out. It’s all part of the fun.

These Boots Were Made For Working

These boots were made for working and they certainly did that. Who knew that throwing an old pair of worn-out working boots could be so emotionally challenging? It was like saying goodbye to an old friend and in many ways,…

This Killer Boogie

Every morning after I have started my day, showered, made a cup of tea, set the fire if it’s cold, is to sit down and watch a short video called ‘This Killer Boogie‘ by Rock That Swing. I’ve become obsessed…
