I forgot to add a little something about myself:

I'm a Brit that came to Aus in 2004 and now call it home. Currently living in Melbourne but still think of Sydney as my true home and expect to go back there someday (hopefully not too many years away).

Trained as a Chemical Engineer at university but somehow moved into Logistics and now run the Distribution for Australia's largest speciality apparel retailer, previously doing the same in the Home Entertainment and Publishing industries.

I didn't believe I had an artistic bone in my body till I started taking photos - and it has now become my main passion. Unlike a lot who seem to prefer time behind the lens and minimising time at the computer, my true love is trying to take a good photo and turning it into something really special in photoshop. I believe I do most of my creative work in the computer, my composition and vision with the camera still need a lot of work.

I aspire to be close in ability to some of the folk here, but believe I need a few more years of practice and learning just to get half way there!
