Up against rebuffs but inspired by the criticism and advice handed out to him, Peter learnt to become a good technician and ended up a talented photographer.

He was not content to photograph music legends like Marley, Keith Richards, James Brown and Miles Davis. He mixed with them.

He continues to work as a photographer and exhibits regularly
