About Me

An artist and a dreamer - Self expression is the courage to expose your soul and to put your talents out there for the world to see. Beauty is a breath of fresh air in a jaded world. Life is a journey meant to be shared ... we are all connected ... and true friends are like gold.I believe in living life with full integrity, with great passion, and always with a huge sense of humour!I believe in signs. There is no such thing as coincidence.I love what I do and I do what I love. As a professional photographer, my work has taken me all over the world and brought some amazing people into my life. Check my website on www.wetpaintphotography.com to see my photography and my paintings. I have lived in four countries, and have finally found my home on the Gold Coast of Australia.Love the beach.Love the pleasures of life. Food. Sex. Sleep. Sun. Music. Laughter. Not necessarily in that order.Love surprises - love the unexpected and the unusualmspmb allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/photoslider.swf?u=981110 30" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="445" height="230"

My Interests

The journey of the soul. Love all music and I love to dance. Life is all about passion and flavours - I love to cook. Yoga when I can - it helps create bendiness both of the body and soul! Astrology. I love to paint and fill my both my home and others with colour. Love a few drinks with good friends.

I'd like to meet:

People who share my views on life. People who like to laugh. A lot!! People who live with passion. Complex and creative people. People like myself who have travelled extensively and experienced other cultures. People with good stories to tell ... fellow dreamers, artists, musicians who know what it is like to try to live your dreams.

Music:

As diverse as possible - everything from classical to the Blues to reggae to soul to dance to chilled house music. Hate country. And western. Love latin dance. Love live music - I admire people who are talented in a musical way mainly because I gave up music at the age of 14 through a complete lack of talent!

Movies:

Again diversity here - love all movies because I am an imaginative and romantic person. Love Tarantino's films for their absolute brilliance - loved House of Flying Daggers for its cinematography and beauty. Loved Team America for its silliness and for that puppet sex scene. Anything with Johnny Depp in it. Sin City for the ART of it.

Television:

As little as possible. Especially the news after years of working as a photojournalist.

Books:

As many as I can get my hands on. From Paolo Coelho to James Patterson. Anne Rice because of the sensuality and lushness of her writing. Robert Heinlein because I am a bit of a space cadet. Doreen Virtue for the angels. Anything with a twist to it.

Heroes:

My parents in New Zealand. My friends. Quentin Tarantino. Bono from U2 because he kissed me once when I was photographing his concert. The Dalai Llama for his compassion and for his smile. Does anybody read all this??
