I am based in Albury (NSW, Australia) and consider myself to be a photographic artist. In my recent work I am aspiring to interpret cultural heritage elements through the visual arts. My interests are in cultural documentary photography using both standard and TTV imagery.

My ART PHOTOGRAPHY can be found under the FLICKR account ausphoto

GROUPS and CONTACTS
In order to ensure a wide audience, I post my images to a number of groups, depending on the subject matter of the image. Thus I seem to be a 'member' of quite a large number of groups. There are only two dozen groups, however, to which I regularly post my images.

I am keeping my contact list to 100. More, I think is unsustainable if I am supposed to comment on your work once in a while (or more frequently).
If you were a contact and have been dropped, no hard feelings, but it's either because you haven't posted images for a long long while or haven't been interacting with my own images.

    "Dirk is an artist and an experimentalist. Always looking for a new photographic way of express his view of the world, as a globetrotter that he is also.
    He is very generous in sharing is work with us.
    I'm very pleased and honoured to have find such a friend, in the other side of the world, through Flickr.
    I only hope that in one of his trips we may meet in person."

    "Heritagefutures is one of my favourite contacts. I am amazed at the variety of his photographic subjects, and of the expanse of his talents in photography. His macro shots are incredible, and his eyes/world/hands project is one of a kind.
    Every photo of his tells a story, and it's so interesting wandering through his photostream."
