Memories are imperfect. A good photograph doesn't just revive the faded recollection of a landscape or person, it revives the story behind that image.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."... Albert Einstein

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect"... Chief Seattle

"Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field." - Peter Adams

"You don't take a photograph - you make it." - Ansel Adams.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away!"

Here you will find a selection of my images from my home state and town, Perth - Western Australia, together with some images from my travels overseas. Like so many of us, I have been a keen amateur photographer since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, but with the advent of the digital era and the magic of Photoshop, photography now consumes my time far more than is probably healthy!

But there is still so much more to learn - and so many distant horizons beckoning.

I hope you enjoy my efforts, and your comments, positive or negative, are always welcome. And, as I have the original RAW images in my safe-keeping, please contact me if you would like to use them for publication, or to purchase.

Please note: ALL IMAGES ARE BEST VIEWED AT THE 'ORIGINAL' SIZE.
