A look at the way i see life from behind the Lens
Welcome to my little part of the world, for 48 years i have worked and lived one hours drive south of Melbourne in 2010 i was offered the opportunity to work and live in Cairns Tropical North Queensland.
I have been a keen photographer since the age of 12 when i was given an old Instamatic camera, at 13 i moved up to a Polaroid instant camera then over the many years i have slowly moved up to my current Canon DSLR.
One thing that i have learnt about photography is just because its your hobby it doesn't mean you are a photographer, I don't take pictures to please any one but myself and i rarely achieve that.
I take my camera with me every time i walk out the door i don't work with themes or formats if it captures my eye i photograph it
