Earlier, as a student at Manchester Polytechnic in Design for Communication Media (Design for Learning) from 1984-1987, walking the dales of Yorkshire and the peaks of Derbyshire in England focused my interest in the natural world.
  After travelling for eighteen months, which included a working holiday in Australia, I emigrated down under in 1992 and bushwalked the soles of my boots raw, building what I hoped one day would be a lasting collection of nature and travel images I could share personally and professionally.
  My images and stories have been published in
AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHIC, WILD magazine,
SERENDIB (Sri Lankan Airlines in-flight magazine), CHILDFUND Newsletter, Sydney Morning Herald and sold as private art prints.

  Having time to craft and compose a photograph in natural light rates highly with me. Fungi on a tree (Black Forest, Germany) or the flow of water

Bushwalking with a full pack and loaded camera
gives me a strong sense of purpose that I would
hope to inspire in others.
There is contentment in the wonders of nature.
Slow yourself down, open your eyes, share the world
