I grew up on the outskirts of Brisbane, capital city of Queensland, Australia, in a house backing onto a "country" golf-course. The relatively untamed creeks meandering across this area gave me my first taste of nature, and I spent many a summers' day wandering down there, barefoot, collecting lost golf balls to sell for pocket money, a pastime that continued long after I really needed it.

This early environment fostered a desire to see more and more of the natural world, and experience more varied environments. I developed a great attraction towards outdoor sports: rockclimbing, skiing, or simply bushwalking - whatever could get me into more and different places.

On the other hand, I have always had a somewhat artistic temperament. From the age of eight, I played the violin, sang in choirs, and later dabbled in many more physical artistic endeavours, such as woodturning. In photography, I found something that could combine these two great pleasures.

This site contains a collection of my best images, taken on my travels to various locations. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
