Hello world. This is my bio. My passions are:my family & friends; Raechel-the love of my life; doing church; photography; web site development and travel.

I've walked this earth for the last 57 years and started taking pics as a kid using a Box Brownie before migrating to a Kodak Instamatic 110. I graduated to 35mm with a Minolta 7 Series II in 1976 and eventually made it to SLR via the Canon T70 and some decent Tamron telephoto and wide angle lenses in 1983. I recently moved into digital photography and just love the instant immediacy and myriad options that the new technology brings.

I specialize in landscape photography. Living in New Zealand (Godzone), I am blessed with many spectacular photo opportunities. These days my camera is almost always close at hand and I have been rewarded with some awesome results. I have twice been the recipient of the Editor's Choice Bronze Award from the International Library of Photography and have been involved for the last 10 years in my church video team where my responsibilities include cameraman, director, team executive. A foray onto the Internet a couple of years ago led to the establishment of my first photography website (since sold) and I have a string of similar projects in train including a photography store-front, www.photographyglobal.com and a business opportunity makemoney.photographyglobal.com

I've recently written a number of articles concerning photography that can be found at http//:www.articles.com which form the basis of some of the lenses to be found on this site.

I love to travel and have enjoyed touring New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Hong Kong. I have plans to travel much more extensively and hope to write future lenses about my photography and travel exploits.ChangeDefault Bio Hello world. This is my bio.
