Profile
I thoroughly enjoy living in beautiful Tasmania, Australias island state. I am spoilt rotten by the multitude of outstanding photographic prospects here, either along the coastline, or the wonderful hinterland of mountains and rivers. The cameras I use are the Canon400D and the 5D Mk II, accompanied by Canon lenses 28-135, 200, 17-40 and 10-22. I always use polarising filters, and occasionally an ND8 neutral density filter on the 10-22 and 17-40 lenses…......and permanently, a Slik Tripod, that i sleep with and tuck into bed at night!!
The buzz from photography has been with me for years…....and to be here on RB amongst leaders and contemporaries of their field provides a terrific learning experience.
I am constantly amazed at the beauty that is everywhere….right at your feet more often than not! Don’t always look ahead…..turn around and see where you’ve come from, and missed!!
.......Images are created from the moment, from the junction of thought and creativity…....which means photography can be like sport, in that, once you’re in the “zone” things start to happen….your “eye” sees the shot, and your mind just follows orders!!.....
And…....I hope you get a laugh, or cry, or whatever, as you check out how I see the world…..and if you are moved in some way, well, thats great!!......It means I’ve done my part in making your day in some way!!

"Thankyou.....for holding my hand....."
In a faraway corner of the farm, I stumbled across the small cairn of rocks, with the little brass plaque, and the memories came flooding back. The propellor had long since rotted, that had long gone,…
An incident at Forgotten Creek.......
The hushed and muted chatter amidst the gathering of onlookers was a mixture of contempt, and of incredulity. Why did he do it? He didn’t look to be the scoundrel, the scourge, that he was condemned…
