http://blondgecko.smugmug.com/popular/ 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! http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Thu, 01 Dec 2005 23:35:10 -0800 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 06:33:55 -0800 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
