I purchased my first DSLR in April 2011 and have enjoyed learning about photography ever since. I am finding the Flickr community to be a continual source of inspiration and knowledge and loving participating in it.
My main photographic interests are the local wildlife (mainly birds and kangaroos in the nearby Woodlands Historic Park) and the wonderful city I live in (Melbourne, Australia - the worlds most liveable city), with a special interest (actually, let's be honest an obsession) in Melbourne's wonderful street art and laneways. The transient nature of the street art makes it a compulsion for me to try and record it photographically before it is destroyed or painted over.

This is long overdue but where do I begin? Andrew is an incredibly talented and inspirational photographer, specialising in bird photography and capturing the work of local street artists. Although I don't think there is a genre of photography that he doesn't excel in. His Photoshop skills are second to none and he creates the most amazing artwork and posters from his photos. Andrew is also a really kind and generous man who I was fortunate enough to meet during my trip to Australia.

I consider Andrew to be a true photographer in every sense of the word. Both technically skilled and also extremely creative, with a wonderful artistic eye. It is always a joy and so fun and surprising to visit his stream, as there is always something new and very original. Very inspiring to view his work.

Andrew is what I call a real photographer. He lives and breathes photography, and I’m pretty sure that he shoots every single day! I am always impressed with his daily uploads. His gallery is filled with impeccable images of lovely flowers and wildlife. I have to mention here that the focus in his images is some of the best I’ve ever seen! Interestingly, he also has a passion for urban photography. I love his photos of building murals and arty graffiti that he discovers around the city. Andrew is a thoughtful and caring person with strong convictions, all of which comes through in his exceptional photography.
