Geoff...'s photostream
|
Hi, my name's Geoff and I live in Canberra, Australia. I am an amateur photographer ... a dabbler compared to some of the artists found around these parts. I've spent maybe 15yrs as a semi-professional musician (percussion, drums and vocal), I'm a scientist by day and I firmly believe that life's too short to wear dull clothes ... I love music and pretty much anything visual.
Along with live performance (my last band was a 10-piece funk juggernaut) I also followed a compositional and computer-based sequencing and sampling route. I always loved photography and have owned a camera of some form for as long as I can remember.
In the beginning of 2007 I sold off most of my musical gear and began to invest in glassware ... particularly Nikon F-mount glassware. I wish I could say that my D80 body formed a significant part of this investment but it's no longer true! I soon began to discover that my photographs were better than any of the music I'd written and I really haven't looked back since.
I joined Flickr in mid-2008 and was immediately impressed by the sheer volume of talent and community I found. I have built up a lovely network of contacts and it's been fantastic to discover there are people who love what they do as much as I do.
Please do not be offended if I don't add you as a contact ... I'm finding that I'm not able to give all my current contacts the feedback I think they deserve.
Thanks for looking. Feel free to wander past my website at Lushpup Images if you like what you see here. I have a Blog if you're interested in what I'm up to photographically and perhaps even where I'm heading. If you really like something you've seen and would like one for your very own, drop me a flickrmail and I'll arrange to upload it to RedBubble.
Please contact me if you wish to use my photos - either for non-profit or commercial use. All my images are © all rights reserved and are not to be used without permission. Thanks in advance.

"Geoff, my overdue "two words" for this marvellous friend of mine. I knew him through his macros and his incredible blues. Always present even when he is in "AWAY MODE ON". Always supportive. Never banal. Each of his shots are precious piece of art. Keep up shooting Geoff. Glad to be your friend.
Hugs,
Fulvio"25th February, 2010

"Geoff
You’re an adept in photography and you’re one of the most eclectic I know here in flickr. What I really like about your work is the wide spectrum of your pictures. Your portraits are amazing me and that goes without saying that you’re a fantastic band photographer. Together with your enthusiasm for music I feel connected to your love for nature and macro photography. You’re one of my idols in this category. I also cherish your sense for humour which is reflected in the titles of your creations and in the comments you write.
Thank you for all your fabulous photos and for your friendship!
You’re the boss!"14th December, 2009

"Geoff, where do we start? I could say that everything you do has a touch of magic, but some of it has more than the rest. Or perhaps it is a lurking creative genius that manages to escape from time to time. Whatever. It amounts to one of the most enjoyable foto streams here on flickr...gooduponya ;-)"

"I have not had Geoff as a contact for very long, but I am already AMAZED by his work! His photos burst with color and emotion - they are unique and breathtaking.

"Geoff amazes me with every single shot he takes. I love how intense are the colors in his photos, and the composition is always very pleasant. I like that he is not one of those snob photographers that never say thanks or never visit your photostream, even though he has a lot of contacts, this and the comments he leaves, shows me the kind of person he is: a special one. Thanks for sharing your amazing photographs with us!"

"I want to be the first person write Geoff a testimonial. I have met him on Flickr not long ago and he is quickly become one of my favourite contact. Geoff, doesn't leave fancy comments on my streams but rather a short warm friendly comment which I appreciate very much. :-)
In term of photography we share similar style; versatile and love of rich colours. His photostream has amazing shot of landscape, abstract, macro and portrait. I hope to see more work from you Geoff and I'm so glad to have you as my Flickr contact."9th November, 2008
