From the days of playing around with my dad's brand new Canon T70, processing my own shots of black and white film in a friend's parents' home darkroom, lugging my own old second hand Pentax SLR around the bush and up rockclimbs in Australia and dragging it out of the cupboard when my kids were born, photography has always excited and fascinated me. 

The idea that in a single frozen moment you can create an image that inspires and is worthy of printing and hanging as a worthy piece of art in my own home caught my imagination.

... then comes along the digital age ...

All of a sudden the ability to capture images, review them instantly and do my own processing and tweaking in my own digital darkroom opened up a world of opportunity and simplified the process.

So now here it is, out in public.

My works, past and present. Notes on what I know and have learnt. A continuing evolution of a photographic life.
