I am constantly in awe of the unrivalled beauty and majesty of nature in all its forms but particularly in its landscapes. As Paul McCartney once sang (yes I love the Beatles too) ”....far have I travelled and much have I seen, dark distant mountains with valleys of green, past painted deserts, the sunsets on fire….’, so too are these the images of my travels and the images I love to capture, be it close to home or further afield.
I hope that some of the images in my portfolio reflect this passion and provide some small level of enjoyment and inspiration to those of you who take the time to view them.
In turn, I gain great enjoyment and inspiration from the many talented artists on this site whose amazing imagery continually astounds me.
More biographically, I live in the beautiful Melbourne bayside suburb of Black Rock, with my beautiful wife of 16 years, and my two beautiful children, Jacqui and Mitchell, who inspire me in so many ways every day.
