“If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn’t need to lug around a camera.”

I’m a self employed public relations consultant and freelance photo-journalist based in Adelaide, South Australia.

Photography began by accident in 2006 when I purchased a Panasonic Lumix FZ5 to take to Vietnam and Cambodia as my ’travelling" companion. On my return I discovered I had a pretty reasonable eye for composition, and sold several articles and photos to travel magazines.

In 2007 I purchased a Pentax K10D and a month later went to India armed only with two kit lenses. I again sold stories and photos on my return.

In 2008 I went to Burma and cruised the Upper Irrawaddy River, and several stories and photos will be publish mid 2009.

I still have the two kit lenses – 18-55mm and a 70-300mm (average glass really) but recently purchased a 50mm f1.4 prime lens and a Sigma 10-20mm EX lens.

I specialise in travel photography and travel writing (generally in South East Asia), in addition to my normal work as a PR consultant.

My preference is for journalese and street type of photographs, and I don’t pretend to take beautiful photos. I like those that tell a story (although my early submissions to Red Bubble tend to be very general).

If it's not bloody stroke, it's my damn leg!

Just recuperating after two weeks in hospital with an infected leg. / Seems that because the surgeon took a vein from my lower left leg for the triple bypass, the blood circulation in the leg is not up to scratch anymore….hence the infection. / Anyway…I’m back…:-)

Heart attack update

Well, I’m still far from being 100 percent fit. The stroke I suffered while having the triple bypass 6 months ago has not made life easy. Still not up to taking photos, as the stroke has seriously affected my right hand and use of fingers. / But things can only get better. The people who use Red Bubble and their great photos make life bearable.

Heart attack

Had heart attack Xmas day and hospitalised. Underwent triple bypass but sadly suffered two mini strokes during operation. Have been home one week and still trying to recover – which is likely to take at least 6 months. Redbubble now only source of income. Any purchases will help me survive. / best wishes to all, / Mitch
