Retired and living on a Sheep Station in "Outback Australia" on the bank of the Murrumbidgee River,

I like Gardens, Dogs, Birds and Bears of course.

I like to travel and come back with records of things I encountered and memories of the world's amazing people.

I battled with a Canon Powershot G3 and then my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50. Both cameras could do good work. Canon 50D with EF 18-200mm IS lens now in my hands, my first DSLR, just have to learn how to use it...

These bears have my heart...

You Are Surrealism

Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own.

You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.

You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world.

Claire's work shows the beauty of living in harmony with nature. That doesn't necessarily mean shots of the Outback or the Mucwhaticallit River. More, it means living with an appreciate of the importance of nature. There is a gentle loveliness in her work that I am certain comes more from her, than her camera.

I have met Claire on flickr and very quickly she has become a very good friend. She is very eager to learn and is never shy asking: both qualities which will certainly help her become a better photographer. The amazing progress she has made is clearly obvious. Not only she is a good photographer but she a wonderful human being full of compassion. I am truly honored to count Claire among my friends despite the fact that we have never met. For some, dreams are just visions that occur during sleep: ephemeral and disappearing. For Claire, dreams are tangible they are markers on the path to becoming an excellent photographer dazzling us with her vision of beauty which surrounds us but very often goes un-noticed and all too often taken for granted as we go about our daily life. Thank you Claire for that and for your friendship.

Claire has shown an amazing ability to learn fast, listen to others, experiment and get the best out of her Canon Powershot G3.

Claire has shown an amazing ability to learn fast, listen to others, experiment and get the best out of her Canon Powershot G3. Introduced to Flickr late last year, it has been amazing to see Claire *blossom" into a very talented digital photographer and Flickrite of some standing. Claire's natural curiosity, generosity, graciousness and eagerness to communicate suit Flickr perfectly and make her great example as an online-citizen. While I have helped Claire with PC questions for some years, she's now teaching me about Flickr, and has become an expert very quickly! With her new Panasonic Lumix she'd set to dazzle us further!
