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.

Practise, practise, practise. I was terrible at first. Now I have learned to sit and wait…then snap like a mad dragon at every movement and hope for one good shot.

Thanks Sue. I was pretty happy with that one. Most of the time I miss a bit, or it is blurred. Persistence pays off every now and again.

It’s difficult to select one. The 2nd one is so sweet.
The flower is stunning. The droplets on the petals look very delicate.
Terrific WW ….
