..
I’m sitting in a hotel room on a cold night in Newcastle. The only beer in the mini bar sits on the table next to me and a lamp beside the bed sets off an ‘ambience’ to a fairly average hotel room. I have the Foo fighters playing in the background, and although it’s a dvd of an acoustic set they played, I’m just listening....... It can be very inspiring. I’ve only been here for 3 days but I’m already homesick.... I miss my family. Its taken 40 years to experience this feeling and tomorrow the experience will be enhanced when I see the faces of my beautiful wife Karyn, my step daughter Kayla and the blossoming joy that has erupted in my life, my 1 year old daughter Ashlee.I’ve been married now for nearly 2 years and my life has definitely experienced changes in that time. So... for 38 years I was single, roaming Australia, and some parts of the world, gathering memories and living every situation for what it is. The thought of marriage and children had been discussed many times in those 38 years, but I just wasn’t ready. I had too much to do, so much more to learn and see, and people to meet. I wanted to secure an understanding of life and the universe... from my point of view anyway. So, have I secured an understanding of life? Well it could take a lifetime to give you an answer, but to give you the shorter version....... No! I can’t settle down on one idea or one belief, so I continue with the search. My way of living is to except the challenge, ‘every time’. Go after what I want, and never be afraid to try something new.I’ve tried to cram in as much as possible to my time. I’ve always had a job, many different ones at that! I once lived to work, these days I work to live as my time can be better served elsewhere. I play guitar and sing my heart out when I’m ‘in the zone’, a rarity in recent times for me but it’s a great feeling when I do. I love the fact that music can comfort me, in any mood....I love to take a picture. Thoughts preserve the mind and words preserve the wisdom but photographs give individual faces to the memory.



My Interests

. Music is my passion and has been ever since I could crawl.... I picked up the guitar as a little boy, my dad was a rocker, he played in bands around Melbourne. I remember him playing to my brothers and I late at nite, a sort of bedtime story to sleep. Playing guitar then became natural, I played in a few bands, and for 5 years it was how I made my living... 'best job in the world'. . unfortunately the money wasn't great, since I couldnt write a 'damn' hit song...! I work in the building industry now, great money! and I have a bag full of cool memories, so Im missing nothing! My daughter is my main interest now. She's my passion, and I'll pass on everything that music and life showed me, to better hers... I love taking pictures of cool stuff. It was always just a hobbie for me, but lately Ive got more serious about photography, and put together a killer photography set-up... 'Let me know your thoughts on the pics u see here'. Drawing, writing, painting and anything constructive using my hands gets me going... My mum is an artist on canvass, as is my cousin 'Anita'(check out their paintings in my pics) I Love playing Texas hold-em poker. I play with my mates on card nights now and again, and on the net in non money social games... Losing my reality to a really good movie is up there with losing myself to music. It something too hard to properly explain, to someone who doesnt sing or play an instrument, describing where we actually go when we bear our soul to it... but I feel a similar break from reality when Im watching a great movie.....
