I live in Melbourne, the capital city of the state of Victoria in Australia - the land down under. I used to work in IT and electronic engineering but I now play around full time with photography and some travel when possible. My main area of interest is in creative or fine art photography but I also like other areas such as landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes and street photography when the opportunity arises. I have done a lot of travelling over the years and have spent time on all 7 continents and visited about 40 countries the latest being Canada and Cuba in early 2020. I enter a lot of international photographic competitions and since 2009 I have amassed over 2600 acceptances in salons around the world and picked up 195 awards including a fair number of Gold medals. My images have been published in newspapers, magazines and are in countless photographic catalogues.
