I love to take pictures. My father was a wedding photographer (and a social worker) when I was little and I grew up with the smell of darkroom chemicals.
My first camera was a Praktica I was bought by my dad for my birthday - I was 14 or 15 I think. As the years went by I stopped taking shots and never bothered when the world went digital!
This year (2011) I have gone back to the camera - I shoot in digital - currently a Sony NEX5 (18-55, 16mm, fisheye, 50 mm Yashica manual lens) and a Nikon D5100 (18-70, 70 - 300, 50mm f1.8 G).
I have discovered a love for photographing people and love to wander the streets meeting new people and taking their photographs.
Aside from photo me I love my family (married with 4 awesome kids), I teach in a Secondary school and love music, guitar, snowboarding and Jesus!
