ABOUT ME

by 2011, I had been traveling Australia for the last 4 years working and taking photos of our awesome 'outback regions' from Rodeos, wild coastlines, unique animals, and the tough men and women who work on the land.
2014 Mexico was great got some awesome photos and met even more awesome people. If your off to Mexico I am happy to offer any advise.
We have moved into an old Queenslander home which we have renovated it is on 10 acres about half hour out of Gladstone and and hour from Rockhampton. We have 2 horses and 2 dogs and are non smokers.
PHILOSOPHY

do unto others as you'd have them do unto you..........

I'm not religious.
I enjoy good conversation about travels, archaeology, Australian way of life, Rodeo, horses, philosophy.
