Me
Currently travelling around Europe for a year taking photos, my previous job was working as a climate change campaigner for the Nature Conservation Council including developing the ClimateMovement.org.au web site. Back in Sydney, I live on a voluntary wildlife refuge, use solar power, rainwater tanks and other sustainability measures. In the past I have run for the Australian federal parliament for the Greens party. I believe in and work for a non-violent, sustainable, equitable and just future in everything that I do. Check out my blog for all the current travel stories.

Photography
I’m available now for commissioned work and event photography. Click here to contact me. You can see a wider range of my work at my Flickr site here. My passion is nature photography – wilderness, landscape, flowers, animals and macro – but I’m also accomplished at portrait, weddings, product and commercial.
Other Art
I also practice art in a number of other mediums on an ad hoc basis. Most regularly, graphic design for environmental causes though my job – see my t-shirts for example. Also: woodwork, drawing, writing and very occasionally painting… I’ll also give most other things a try if I have access to the materials.
Equipment
...is not as important as so many other things. I use a Canon 5D body with 3 lenses: 24-105mm f4-5.6 IS USM L, 100-400mm f4-5.6 IS USM L and a 50mm f1.8. I also occasionally use a 1980’s Canon AE-1P film camera with a 15mm full frame and 8mm circular fisheye – and that set-up has a 60m underwater dive housing. Work from before Nov 2007 is taken with a Canon 300D and sometimes the kit 18-55mm lens.
