About

Hi, my name is Michael Edmonds. I have a background in art and design, but have worked mostly in fundraising and project development for a variety of environment and education organisations and charities. Taking pictures of trees (and sometimes other plants) as I go about my day, whether on the way to work, walking to the shops or visiting nature reserves in my spare time, has become an increasingly important and enjoyable part of my life over the last two decades. The Side Shoots shares some of these photos, as well as some of my creative endeavours and my ongoing attempts to get my head around photosynthesis (and how it connects us to the bigger picture of the Universe!).
