Where to begin...
My passion for photography began way back when I was about five years old - helping my dad out in his darkroom. It's definitely been a life-long love for me.

As can be seen, my subject matter is fairly varied. I have no idea how people find their 'niche' or specialty as so much appeals. I bought myself my first digital slr, late '08 and have been having fun learning along the way and hopefully improving! A few of my earlier shots here were taken with a Canon 630 EOS and a number of other digital cameras. I added to my swag (July 2011) and bought an older canon EOS film 300 but am very keen to upgrade my digital. I try to avoid using photoshop though I admit that the natural editor in me takes over often & I can't help playing around with colour & light levels. Having said this, I personally prefer to try and keep it pretty real & portray a scene as it's seen and perceived (which is usually influenced by feelings more than anything else) I will generally state if a shot has been significantly photoshopped although I think this is usually obvious to the viewer.

I've lived in Melbourne mostly but spent a couple of years living in Western Australia. I love nature/water/animals, colour, the mighty cosmos and my three sons who are 18, 15 & 12, and our very lovable dog, Cody.

I am pretty addicted to Flickr lately and love that it not only gives us a window to the world at large but also a window into the pysche of the photographer.

I'm so impressed and inspired by many of the incredible images found on Flickr :)
I aspire to do some more travelling/exploring when my kids are a little older & see some more our our wondrous planet.
