G'day

My name is Michael but call me Billy!(long time nickname) i'm 31, I'm an Aussie that took up photography in 2006, It now consumes my life pretty much. I like to be judged on my photography skills not my computer skills. I love to be inspired and push myself to be better at everything.I grew up camping and bushwalking through the Tasmanian wilderness, and beautiful coastlines so to now capture them with my camera is gold to me.When I'm not taking pics i'm writing music. Hope you enjoy my shots. You can also check out my shots and my writing at RedBubble. Thanks..

Billy is my younger brother, we've been best mates since we were as young as I can remember and I felt it necessary to let people know a little bit more about him than I'm assuming they do (sorry Billy). Our mum n dad gave us opportunities by supporting and teaching us everything a kid could want to know about life, the outdoors, sport, art, & respect which has helped Billy become the person he is today. Billy couldn't decide on a career path and didn't want to make a decision because he felt he had to. At a young age he was offered the chance to attend The Tasmanian Institute of Sport for golf which he declined and more recently while attending University he decided to defer his studies because he wanted to pursue something that would make him happy and keep him interested. It would've been about 12 - 18 months ago that he started taking photos more than usual and it's great to see someone continuously improve and evolve into an extremely talented photographer in such a short time. His eye for detail, framing, balance etc are exceptional, he has the ability to see things in a way that most would miss. Those that know Billy would agree that he is an intense individual, he has passion for those that he loves and the things that he loves to do, but he also has that relaxed approach to life. I can only see big things for you Billy, I truly believe that because of your love and therefore dedication to photography, you will continue to improve and develop your skills to be one of the great photographers of our time. Well done Billy, you're a bloody great bloke with a heap of natural ability - it's inspirational!!
