Taken looking out my living room window, late in 2019, shortly before being admitted to the psychiatric ward for depression.

Born in 1972; graduated from Macquarie University in 1995 (B.A. Mass Communications). Moved to the country in 1996. Began caring for my parents, in Sydney, in 2001. Have lived with bipolar disorder since an early age, am now receiving a pension. A highlight, photographically speaking, has been the solo exhibition I recently held at the Wollongong Art Gallery: "The Charm of Things Hidden In Plain View". Also love poetry and composing music in various genres.
