I began my photographic hobby at the age of 12, developing and printing 120, 620 &35mm B&W, forever learning and refining the fascinating art of photographic composition. Now at 72 I still continue with increased enjoyment using digital medium – and still learning.
My favourite places for photography are the Melbourne Zoos . These are the Melbourne Zoo , the Healesville Sanctuary and the Werribee Open Range Zoo.

Writings
THE LABEL COLLECTION
The label collection was compiled during the period 1950 through 1955. I was, at that time, employed by the Australasian Jam Coy Pty Ltd, Garden Street, South Yarra, Victoria -
Unrequited Love
The depth of love / The success of love is simplicity to measure
You Can Win
Reach for the skies / Break off the ties / of doubt and hesitation
AJC Pay Day and Reminiscences
I recall when, as a 15-year-old Electrical Apprentice with the Australasian Jam Company (AJC) in Chapel Street, Prahran, I saw a very old sign remaining on the wall of the antiquated pay office:
Programmer's Blues
A programmer’s mind is but genius working / How can we stand those checkers lurking?
What Is Life ?
Life’s greatest joy is from those held near / Those close, the ones held dear / It’s really of their love for you / That’s life’s secret- it’s nothing new
