Martin Creely
Profile
Hi,
I’m Martin from Australia. I’ve been an amateur, occasional pro photographer since i was eight years old (Its a family business).
I’ve done work as a wedding cinematographer and a stint long, long ago with the Dept of Agriculture’s Film Production unit. (This is a Nuck-Nuck beetle, its dead, give me a 15 minute treatment on it).
My particular photographic passions are news/photojournalism, nature, architecture and travel.
I make my daily living as an IT specialist and sneak off whenever i can to shoot things :).
I’m married to the most wonderful girl who is also a photographer :).
Some of the photographers i really admire are Wolfgang Sievers, Robert Mapplethorpe, Eddie Adams, James Nachtwey, Greg Marinovich.
And i have to reserve a special mention for someone close to my heart, Ptollemy. She’s only been shooting for a couple of years and has alreadly turned out a remarkable body of work. I think she is going to go from strength to strength. Go check her out right now, go on, do it !, you know you want to.

Hormel homily
Zygote of reborn meat,pink and mushy. / Glistens with the shine of nitrite and salt. / Trapped in your steel womb, / awaiting the vacuums release.

Migraine
