Photographer in Perth, Western Australia
General
First Tae Kwon Do (Western Australia) held its first grading examination recently, and I was on hand to capture some of the action.

Around this time of year, it’s customary in many places for people to exchange greetings and gifts in an atmosphere of general goodwill rather than any Christian context. Christmas has become increasingly secular over the years. It seems that some people are keen to remove Christ from life more broadly, such as we see in the advocacy… Continue reading Christmas 2015

According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power… Continue reading Easter 2015
Welcome to my photography weblog. I’ve created this website to reflect on and share what I’ve learned on my journey so far as an amateur photographer. Much of what I know comes from reading about the experiences of expert photographers, and I hope that others will be able to benefit from me in a similar way. Initially, I’ll concentrate… Continue reading Welcome
