Paul Manning

Hi and welcome, my name is Paul, these are my waves, I hope you enjoy them…

16 October 2011: Over the last year (since Nov 2010) my photography has taken a back seat to other activity in our lives, not the least of which has been training for an Ironman Triathlon and supporting family, in particular helping my eldest boy Josh as he faces life with the challenge of Asperger’s Syndrome… an Autism Spectrum Disorder…

As I sat looking through my profile I realised why these pictures and this awesome environment mean so much to me… it’s because this is the world that Josh thrives in… it gives him life and has taught him so very, very much…

I hope you enjoy looking through my images and that they find a special place for you…

If you’d like to see Josh thriving in this environment check out his blog…

You can also check out my blog Red Watch for Autism set up to add another voice to the chorus of people championing awesome kids like Josh!

Here’s my faves…
