I'm in my 40's and enjoy photography. My main genre is nature but am branching out and wanting a greater eye to see and photograph things. My dream is to travel many places and photograph beautiful flowers like the orchid and waterlilies. My long running daydream is to go on a shopping spree at B&H in NYC and get a 2-3 new cameras, a sweet pro ballhead, a specialized tripod, and go photograph NYC like never before. It's interesting that I've often found comfort in my photography as I look at wonderful images during the winter months. I'm just a cashier in a department store who really likes photography and cameras. Beauty is in the eye of the camera, and I like to find it in my camera's viewfinder (or TTL)!

I am a expat Kiwi and have a Thai wife. (Second marriage) Two years ago, we decided to make a life in Thailand. We stayed with her Mum and Dad who don't speak a word of English for about seven or eight months. I learnt to sleep on the floor, with a mosquito net and a fan. Average temperatures 35 - 42 deg. C. We then had a new house built, with air-con. Surprised? Since being here, I have been teaching English at a university in Ayutthaya and at a local High School. So much for a peaceful life.
Our home is about 35 kms from the nearest city, Ayutthaya and I am the only European in the area. However I have been accepted into both the family and the community, to the extent, that now, I am invited to film weddings, Temple functions and the numerous House Parties. The area has many fascinating elderly people who still follow the trasitional way of life and are more than happy to talk about times past. I suppose that is where I first decided to try and make a documentary on the grass-root
Denizen of the Great Lakes region of the planet, changed hats much of my life, self-taught musician (guitar, bass, percussion), dad and honey-doer, very unpredictable.
