I live with my Wife and Daughter in Launceston, on the Island state of Australia, Tasmania.

I spend a lot of my spare time with my Olympus C-770 Digital Camera in hand, photographing the Wonderful World of Nature.

My Favourite type of Photography is “Macro” Photography. This is involves photographing the very small. Usually my subjects are smaller than 3" (7.5cm). As a result one of my favourite subjects, are found in the Macro-Fungi & Insect World.
