I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

Presentation is so important. It makes me want to ea when I see food in a very decorative way. I have trouble getting myself to want to eat. Seeing it look pretty helps me enjoy it more. This is a yummy looking lunch. I would so enjoy it. I love asparagus. Sooo healthy …. nice post.
