me, my camera and my life.




One step at a time …

… I proceed to take over the world under the tutelage of my Grandfather and today marked one more step towards that goal.

I’m famous. Well not quite. Well really not at all. I can still think I am pretty cool though and so can you, well if you are my family I guess because that is just a family rule.

Flying the VOC colours

What am I going on about and why is that photo displayed above? A couple of weeks ago I received an email from the Picture Australia people at the National Library of Australia asking me if they were able to use the image above in a press release for Australia’s Maritime World regarding the addition of new images to Picture Australia as well as the collaboration between Picture Australia and Flickr. Out of all the photos in the database, they picked one of mine :) I can’t tell you how big of a smile that put on my face :)
