I have been a lover of photography since I received a Haminex 110 at 5 years old. My old man gave me my first SLR at 9 years old. Since then, photography has been my passion, particularly sport and landscape. I am an advocate for Canon and have the utmost faith in their products.
I grew up on the Northern Suburbs of Sydney & Bathurst, and now live on the North Coast of NSW with my girlfriend Sarah.
Apart from photography, my life is surrounded around waves and snow. I live for surfing and skiing (and Sarah of course!). Where ever those three things are, you will find me.
I’ve just started up a new group ‘surfing’, so if you’ve got some good stuff which specifically relates to our sensational sport, submit it to the group.
