I was born in July 1945 in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. I left Newcastle in 1971 for Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and after eighteen years of service in the Army joined the Public Service. In 2004 when made redundant I retired and in early 2005 move to Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, (where God rested on the seventh day), my current home. I took up photography as a hobby and joined the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club and hold the position of Print Steward. I have had success in club, inter-club, national, international and local competitions and am a member of several photographic web sites. I follow no genre of photography which allows me to strive for betterment in any form of the art I choose. My motto is: "To do the best I can with the equipment, knowledge and experience I have at any given time with any given subject." I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as I have enjoyed bring it to you.
