I have recently stopped working to spend more time with my family. We live in the Hunter Valley, in New South Wales, Australia, 1.5 hours north of Sydney. It is a major wine growing region in Australia and I am loving the rural lifestyle. Just started taken photos in Dec 2008 as my new hobby and am loving it. I am sticking to mainly to SOOC shots until I learn more about photography. I have a lot to learn yet and am not really interested in using post processing.
