Profile
City: Balgownie Wollongong
Country: Australia
My name is Valerie Hussain, I have always dabbled in photography but nothing serious. I have a love of things old and forgotten. I often wonder what stories they could tell, if only they could speak. My new love is bark and crystals and macro photography, although I am still trying to master macro’s.
I have spent a lot of years raising a very large family, and now enjoy 11 grandchildren. My family is now all over Australia in Tasmania, Queensland Western Australia, Sydney, Wollongong and I have a beautiful granddaughter and her family in Wales UK. I wish I had discovered photography much sooner. I am also dabbling in Tshirt design, trying out photoshop. I love looking at what other artists create both with camera and paint.

I wrote this poem in September 1997. My husband and I raised 9 children, this is ten months in our house in a nutshell. Tassy refers to the island state of Tasmania. thanks for visiting, cheers- Valer…
Mum and me and you
I wrote this poem in 1998 for my mum and my sister. We were living separated by many miles and din’t get together often enough.
