Based in Brisbane, Australia, my hometown features in most of my images with its stunning backdrops and beautiful surroundings. I love to chase light and shadows whether it be a nightscape from Kangaroo Point Cliffs, a view of the majestic Story Bridge or capturing an expression in a portrait. Looking at the world through my lens has given me a deeper appreciation of nature and the world around me. This is is what drives me keeps me focused on the important things in life.
You can explore my images here. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing my images for either personal or commercial use.
Thank you for connecting with me.

Hello Norma, Thanks for dropping by. I’m glad you enjoyed some of my photographs. I’m especially pleased with the hummingbird too as it is the cleanest shot yet. I looked at your Morton Bay Fig tree shots and absolutely need one in my back yard for a treehouse. Liked the Church House Ruins also and curious if you’ve tried it out in B&W?

Go to edit and in the top line of tools on the far right there’s a “kitchen sink” button. This will show another line of tools beneath. Look for the button with the letter A and click on the dropdown arrow next to it and this will allow you to choose the colour you want to change your text to. Don’t forget to select your text first. I hope this helps 🙂

I read your line about photography getting you out & had to laugh. After 43 years of devoting myself to my photography I was out in 49 degree darkness this morning waiting for the sun to rise. I was standing on the edge of a busy two lane highway taking my post shot of the day. When it was all on record I stopped for a restroom break and couldn’t feel my legs I was frozen. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Welcome to a lifetime of personal satisfaction and gratification. Your works shows a lot of love for the artform that is photography.
