I'm Australian but I live in Seoul, South Korea.

I always had a camera and always loved taking pictures but serious photography was just too hard until the advent of the DSLR. Now I'm completely addicted.

I got into it with an entry level Canon 350D and after 3 or 4 years of practice, upgraded to the 5D mark II. I use these lenses:

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro

I manage to carry most of my gear with me everywhere I go in a fairly nondescript (and surprisingly small) shoulder bag. I'm a firm believer in the idea that you never get the best pictures when you go out looking for them. I always get my best shots when I'm just walking somewhere and something catches my eye.

I wish I could take candid portraits of random people on the street but I'm way too timid to get in people's faces. It's a major dilemma for me.
