Nearly 40 years is a long time to spend looking through a viewfinder or at computer screens, but that's exactly how long cameras, video editing, building websites, and running social media accounts for others have shaped my working life. So when people ask if I'm retired, the honest answer is: sort of.

I no longer take on paid commercial work, but stepping away entirely has never really been an option. Over the past few years I've been putting my skills and equipment to use on a pro-bono basis for churches, charities, and voluntary groups, and it's been some of the most rewarding work I've done. If your organisation has a story to tell but not the budget to tell it properly, I'd love to help.

From 9th July until the 30th July 2026 I'll be on a Mission trip with the Peace & Hope Trust in Mindanao, Philippines. - You can keep up to date with the trip here: https://sites.google.com/view/sindangan2026/home

Freeshow

Having used WorshipTools Presenter (free version) for several years, I recently found FreeShow. I tested it for a month before deciding to go live for the first time with a new Mac Air M4. It was all set up 20 minutes before the service, 15 minutes before the service, the screen went black, the audio cut out and then it all came back in less than 2 seconds! 10 mins before the service it happened again, so I switched to a backup 2018 Mac Mini and WorshipTools Presenter. Perplexity tells me it's probably a low spec HDMI cable or an HDMI switcher fault. A new Thunderbolt to HDMI has been ordered, so I"ll have time to test it before the next service.

UPDATE.

New HDMI cable seemed to work, I've now used FreeShow for 4 weeks without any issues (even stopped taking a backup Mac Mini along!). I'm probably only using 25% of the features but getting more used to it each week, it's a better program than WorshipTools Presenter (and being free, it's cheaper than ProPresenter!), I'm surprised more people are not using it.
