I don’t know whether it was a fascination with life that got me into photography or something else. From a young age I loved to observe and draw. Though when there was a camera in my hand something else happened. The camera gave me an excuse to explore the world and capture moments, it gave me a sense of connection. There was a beauty in that for me.

I travelled and travelled for seven years, but then I had one of ‘those years’ where things got a little too exciting: ships sinking, volcanoes erupting, a little too close to bombing- you know how it is. I realised it was time to come home and put work out into the world. I have recently won a series of awards including a couple travel photography. For me it isn’t about acclaim- instead it is that fact I love being able to create beautiful images of our astounding planet. I certainly hope you like what you see. Most of my pictures have a story, I try to add that to the write up. I intend for my images to be more than just an image- maybe a connection or a feeling. Whatever it is I hope it makes you feel good.

Please enjoy.

Writing

Retina Blue

When an eye shows clarity and light-a connection to the soul is revealed. / When an eye is devoid of the celestial blue print, the soul is lost… / It becomes Retina Blue

The power of the word of mouth.

Making the decision to go it alone is a risk, but sometimes when you make a decision it is as if the universe aligns and sets in motion your dream. So what was my dream?

Goylegate One Gargantuan Scandal - Final Edit.

‘Stop right there!’ A person dressed in black had hollered. / Instinctively she had scarpered. The chase began with one angry looking man and now there were already ten pursuing her.

When Salsa goes bad...

So my hamstring feels odd so I stand up quickly. Obviously we are still in this hold when I realised the peruvian guy is suspended from my arms, his feet dangling in the air.

Small horse syndrome.

All the while I hid behind the camera in hysterics. Finally I took the camera from in front of my face and the crowd realised that I was struggling.

Inflatable palm trees and hula mayhem.

Jenny cleverly wore a skin coloured halter neck which resulted in everyone (the men) doing a double take at her.
