I loved photography as a boy purchasing my first 35mm camera a Fuji Pet which I bought with my first pay as a carpenter and joiner.

My taste buds are growing slowly as I learn new skills and my creative mind is working overtime.

I also love both writing as well as poetry , reading other Poets and writers work and commenting. So please introduce yourself to me as we journey Artfully.

I love colour, children’s memorabilia, moods of life in all types of fun and humour along the journey

Living in and loving Emerald Beach on the Northern coast of NSW , Aussie Land, and visiting the Blue Mountains on occasions , gives me lots of interesting ideas to explore my own creativity in the field of Photography.

It is an enriching experience to view so many artists on RB , to join with then, email and comment and enjoy their diverse works.

I just adore old buildings and cottages, these are my favourites, so if you have Art which includes old cottages, old windows and doors, internal pictures…just send me an B-mail…please!!

ALSO, I AM LOOKING FOR EACH OF YOU WHO CAN ASSIST ME WITH YOUR CRITIQUE ,...as a I more than willing to learn.

Having spent many years in burnout and deep Clinical depression AND LOSS GRIEF, I lost some 11 years of life..learning to speak and read and write once more.
All that is past with my Christian walk and my great interest in photography, it has lightened my outlook and shown me the beauty of the awesome creation.

A huge Hi to all who are here in Australian and all over this wonderful world..
You are always welcome to visit as you have time

"you left me in the morning"

Now that your gone forever daddy / And I wont hear you say / I love you baby girl / And i’ll always be here to stay / as depression is my closest friend…...now

DEPRESSION, WHAT DO I LOOK FOR? I FEEL DREADFUL!

True Depression , “has many faces”. As we are each different, we also differ in our ‘chemical’ makeup…...some of us are more prone to depression than others.

Today!

Please tell me how I can live through “Today”

Our world is in trauma

Our world is in trauma

the endless noise of materialism

and clutter our homes and fill our sheds / with ‘life’ , when there’s so much more / For relationships so wonderfully fill the void / where endless things once trod

the obscure world of depression

How did I arrive here? / where is this dreaded place? / I never new of its existance,.. from joining the human race.. where is the way out, / where is the long road back? / If I knew my friends I&#…
