About Me

You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it. ~Author Unknown
Hi...
As you can see my love is photography!
I am a very proud mum, partner and Australian. Born in Tasmania (the home of the Tassie Devil) and the state that always gets left off the map of Australia, my partner and I now live in Victoria.
Cynthia and I have 3 great sons and with them has come new women in to our lives who bring both us and our sons joy.
I work for the Flying Kangaroo and most of my working life has been spent in the airline industry. Having said that I also have to admit I hate flying!! That has not stopped me over the years travelling and seeing some wonderful places. One of the most interesting countries I have lived would be Tehran, Iran.(still under the Shah)...never a dull moment! I just wish there had been digital cameras and video cameras with sound back then. I have always loved visiting the USA and of course Canada where my beautiful partner of 13yrs is from.
I consider myself a fun loving person and like to laugh. Cynthia tells me the few (yeah right!!)wrinkles I have just show I have laughed my way through life!! We have an animal family that consists of a whippet (maggie), a cross (literally!) mini fox terrier/chihuahua(dharma), two cats (tasha and ali) and yes they all have TV star names!! Also a talking cockatiel who makes up his own sentences from the words he has learn over the years..nice words I might add.. also 9(oops now only 8) budgies and a lovebird. Makes travel difficult.
Cynthia and I love to go camping and this summer we are going down the coast boogie boarding again...we have bought the new wet suits which are black with a fair bit of colour to hopefully deter the great white sharks who could otherwise mistake us for seals(one of their favourite foods!)
Hope you will take the time to browse some of my photos. I am building a few albums on webshots so hopefully I can link the site to my myspace page somehow when finished. Whoever is reading this has probably already come from Cynthia's MySpace site so hope you have enjoyed her music...it is what bought us together....beautiful words and voices.
