I am a geek, a computer technician, and a camera freak, I shoot professionally in my spare time, mostly events.

If it goes buzz or clicks I am interested in it.

My ambition is to get good at this photography thing, maybe one day have people say my name with the same respect we now say the names of the great photographers.

At the beginning of the 2011 field hockey season, the Rockingham Redback's asked me if I would be the club photographer. Four years later my family moved to a Premier League club and I now shoot the University of Western Australia Hockey Clubs games. I am self-editing, I always have been so my comments and camera angles are my own. I try not to capture any image that may cause embarrassment or that goes against my own morality standards.

During the indoor hockey seasons, I have been attached to the CT Pirates Indoor Hockey Team and the Wasps. I love indoor hockey.

Add to this a string of Western Australian State junior teams and I have seen the best junior action the sport has to offer. I have also been privileged to photograph both the Kookaburras and the Hockeyroos as they play international teams, so I have seen the best in the sport.

I haven't photographed a hockey game in a long time, with none of my children playing hockey and my health not being the best, my days of standing in the rain shooting a game are over, but I still drag out the cameras when I can and find something to shoot and then when I do I vow to do more of it. I will do more shooting in 2024.

Any photo on this Flickr site can be downloaded free of charge, I recommend downloading in original sizing. The instructions on how to do this are at the end of every set.

At 66 years of age (I just edited my age, I am getting old fast), I am leaving my run at photography a little late, but it's a run I am really enjoying and a good capture makes me smile more than anything I have ever done.
